Lyrics to the pot by tool

Foot in mouth, and head up asshole. Whatcha talkin' 'bout? Difficult to dance 'round this one 'til you pull it out, boy! You must have been, so high. Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference. Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo Got lemon juice up in your So full of it.

Eyeballs deep in muddy waters Fuckin' hypocrite. Liar, lawyer, mirror, show me. What's the difference? You'll weep or, change the cozened indigo. Got lemon juice up in your high eye. When you pissed all over my black kettle You musta been! So who are you to wave your finger? Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me? You must, have been, out your, mind! Weepin' shades of indigo Shed without a reason Weepin' shades of indigo Liar, lawyer, Mirror for ya, What's the difference?

Will you weep or, change the cozened indigo Got lemon juice up in your, EYE!! Now when you pissed all over my black kettle. Eyeballs deep in muddy waters Your balls deep in muddy waters. Ganja, please, you must have been out your MIND!!!!

It also applies to legal matters in general, such as legal misleading, it carries the theme of the dishonest individual.

When we take the two lines as a whole we see a legal authority who is hell bent on getting there way. Indigo- Historically one of the most important colors. Indigo was mandated to be worn only by authoritative figures. It also has another meaning in classic literature it often refers to the deepest sorrow, or an overwhelming depression. The Black kettle, ques into the Title, The pot calling the kettle black. Meaning: Your criticism of me and my belief, are blinding you and causing you harm.

How dare you judge me, us! You actions disallow you from judgment "liar, lawyer, mirror show me. So kangaroo be stoned either this idiot is high, or this idiot is being judged. He's as guilty as the government meaning that he is to blame for his actions as much as the government who created the laws against him.

Ganja, please. Ganja, only means pot, it has no other meaning. Ganja, please.. The juxtaposition again either, it is the you, the listener, are crazy to think that this song is about pot.

Or it is How dare you think that it is correct to destroy someone's life over something so dumb. I think this a criticism towards the current judicial persecution with the example of marijuana users persecution. It's main message though is to the listener that this is not a Pro-Pot song, it is a pro-activism song, because he is saying that the reasons that our government is so out of control, is because "we" the listeners are high, and we have allowed them to get this power.

We have allowed them to blind us. Eye ball deep in muddy war in this context is us the listener, the baby in the cradle, the innocent. He is trying to get us accept responsibility, get our heads out of our ass and to actually do something. Also, Tim O' Brien is a great author. Song Meaning Wow, some of the interpretations are quite A couple of things to note Tool is playing on words right from the title!

The song is called The Pot, referring both to marijuana and the dirty pot looking at its own reflection. People seem to be really confused by robbing a grave to snow the cradle, the muddy waters, lemon juice and weeping shades of indigo. Hypocrisy meaning: Possibly using the deceased to pad election votes into a win.

Hypocrisy meaning: Being blinded by drunkenness and making a poor decision making the decision maker as guilty as whomever he is accusing of wrong-doing. Weeping shades of indigo: Drug meaning: Having purple tears is an idiom for someone who is high. Cozened basically means "coaxed by deceit". Of course, this blood would not be literal, so the bleeding hypocrite is up for interpretation. General Comment Trexor, If you go back and read my post, you might get some insight as to what we are talking about here.

The song is about hypocrisy, not marijuana. Marijuana was just a vehicle or literary device for Maynard to talk about people committing atrocities and hiding behind laws or positions of power. Diverting our attention from their wrong doings by waving fingers and keeping the looking glass pointed the other way, and policing us. Do yourself a favor and read up Kangaroo courts and what is happening in Guantanamo Bay, or find out who Black Kettle is and what happened to him.

Why was he killed? Think about how that might relate to what is happening right now in the world. How that might relate to the US war in Iraq. I know this stuff is tough for a 19 year old such as yourself to digest, and may include a sort of textual analysis you are not familiar with, but please stop spamming the TooL boards. Maynard has been writing theses types of songs long before you were aware TooL existed.

Hey man i'm 18 and i get it. KryptK33p3r on July 18, You're a fucking moron. BipolarRoyalty on January 10, Yeah, age discrimination sucks. Especially when you're SquireSuzuki on March 31, Hooker With A Penis lol kelmknight on July 24, The song is definitely about hypocrisy by someone in a position of power. But it doesn't really care to name who that person is.

Someone else commented that he is referring to his mother who would condemn him, calling him a refer, but didn't stop to look at herself.

I think the song fits equally as well as a criticism on US foreign policy. I like that the person is unnamed because it allows us to apply it in a more general sense. And nonetospeakof, why must you attempt publicly humiliate someone, especially somewhere as anonymous as an internet forum? It's easy for people to talk trash when they can hide safely behind their computer screens.

Song Meaning First off, these are the correct lyrics "Eye hole deep in muddy waters" - basically an allusion to the entire swamp song, rash decisions lead to too deep a hole to crawl out of "Rob the grave to snow the cradle Then burn the evidence down" - The countless pointless deaths of those protecting our 'freedoms' when it turns out that from the start commercialism, and nationalistic belligerence is poured into our heads. Conditioning almost, for the innumerable times the government has tried, and will try, to lie and hide what it has done to protect those who have committed said atrocities.

A proud and seemingly unshakeable foundation to preach what is right and wrong. When in fact, everything hinges on a cornerstone, deceit, as long as the general public is fed with distractions, the need to to speedy remedies to government loopholes and general stupidity will be almost non-existent. Don't go tossin' your stones around is simply a warning, to the government to tread softly.

Like Trexor, saying Tool sucks. Difficult to dance 'round this one 'til you pull it out. Nothing will truly be gained or accomplished until the trend of sweeping it under the carpet, the lies and evasions are stopped. Corruption follows the trickle-down principle to, it fits, the broader subject of government taking away mans 'unalienable' rights may not hurt him physically, or immediately, but good men do suffer seems to be the best fit.

I Interpret this as the government is trying to cover up itself by lying, and destroying the evidence, but now we've caught on. We see through the shroud. Apparently Black Kettle is a specific person or case. The entire song has wording which has a 'We're on to you' voice to it. Create a new account. Log In. Powered by CITE. Missing lyrics by Tool?
