The pot lyrics - Tool - 10,000 days

[rastrozz]

Una buena canción bastante mal grabada con interferencias o qué sé yo....

[deedleedee77]

Fatty fingers, lol

[sky666ler]

i think its about...wait. who gives a fuck? u wanna know what it means? ask maynard

[robilee75]

I thought it was about not judging, who r u? We r all sinners, difference is some see others r blind, not ready to see,

LOVE ALL TRUST FEW DO WRONG TO NONE

(shakespere)

[robilee75]

Liar lawyer whats the difference ???

[mikeylongshanks]

I'm also pretty sure he says 'allow me to hold the mirror for ya, what's the difference'. That's what I think anyway

[A0SAD0AMERICAN]

Found out Maynard was in the service.... now I understand...

[Higgs666]

I used to think Maynard was crazy, but now I consider him one of the few sane ones.

[RBFTwnd]

awesome bassline

[TheLittleRedSparrow]

Kangaroo court is an Australian term for mock courts established by the English in Australian colonization back in the day to persecute the aborigines.I

[goldstarmusic125]

Omg trippy hahaha

[Ecrogue]

Was a good try tho. The correct lyrics can be found online though if u look

[Ecrogue]

Lol its steal, borrow, reefer, save your shady inferance. Not whatever u got there homy

[MrBrooksGrant]

omg trippy

[Andysbx]

grrr, are u kicking the computer as the song is uploading?

[Solider12]

["Kangaroo" refers to "kangaroo courts", which were mock courts established to prove people guilty without a fair trial or any real evidence - most of the court cases dealt with marijuana users]

[strife725]

so i get what the songs bout...but whats the reference to kangaroos bout? is there somethin bout kangaroos that idk haha...all i know that some ppl dont is that they cant hop backwards...is that it?

[TheMichael522]

Screw it, I was just listening to the song and doing other stuff and just came back at the last part, yeah theres way more than one mistake haha

[TheMichael522]

The last time he says "eye balls deep in muddy waters" he really says "Your balls deep in muddy waters"

[palaceofwisdom1996]

@scottecamel the lyrics are right.check your sources.

[firmlygraspi1]

At 4:06 the face looked like Shodan from System Shock 2

[TheDarrellStinson]

im new to tool and this is my new favorite song

[scottecamel]

the lyrics are TOTALLY wrong when it says musta got lemon juice up in your eye, stupid people listen to it on headphones. he clearly says "and i just looked in your eye." no way would Maynard write such stupid lyrics, sorry to say.

[lileekill]

@scottecamel i don't see how that's dumb when he said earlier about the kangaroo and the jury. lol

[101loverforever101]

im not say its a long song i'v head songs that are 10 mins but the songs pretty long

[chasend1]

@101loverforever101 thats because tool is good enough to pull it off.

[Alternamaton]

:21, :33, :44, :54...this song is unlistenable. How am I the only one to comment on this? o_O

[Sean345H]

@Alternamaton What do u mean unlistenable, Song sounds great and gets more and more powerful as it progresses, Thus the genre;Prog. I coulda misunderstood what u said cus i dont get all the numbers at the start o ur comment

[Alternamaton]

@Sean345H It skips pretty badly...

[shinigamixheartless]

fucking classic

[KGODSMACKC]

dont give a fuck if it aint bout weed... still like getting baked to this song :)

[Sean345H]

@KGODSMACKC It still is about weed in ways,he said ganja in the song.Its about courts and government but hes trynta show that its all scumbags with power thats at the top and freedom to do whatever u want as long as its not hurtn any1 else other than urself,whether it be weed coke heroin or whatever floats ur boat,PS luv gettn baked to the song too,Good stuff man.

[KGODSMACKC]

@Sean345H yo thats interesting view man...that shits badass..thanks ... fucking manyrerds a genius... i love tool... i hope they make a new album.. :) :)

[jackassqwe1]

FOOT?? all this time though he said FUCK

[XxcoreycrowzxX]

@jackassqwe1 wow, thats the stupidest comment i've seen all day, congrads

[jackassqwe1]

@XxcoreycrowzxX yeah and also the stupidest reply, super smart

[ThePothead338]

ur lyrics are wrong

[ANeonGenesis]

@ThePothead338 Post your own then. And, by the way, your English is incorrect. I mean...ur talking is wrong.

[waz4477]

sparkdancer you took the words out of my mouth!!

[Sirmorgarath]

good song, but the lagg is messin it up, im not being mean man, im just sayin

[brando3mando]

the songs meaning is 'how are you gonna try and fuck with me your pretty much fucking yourself over youve gotta be high to think its smart'

[anthony6569]

the meaning???????go out and KICK SOMEONES FUCKIN ASS

[curiousaub]

um, jimmy is about maynard leaving the things from his childhood behind & realizing that a reconciliation is needed for growth to be had. jimmy = childhood name for james. age 11 = point of division leading to reconiliation. it is the musical for richard bach's book, "running from safety." may or maybe not intended.

[KneeGrow95]

And are u guys fucking retarded?? Wasn't this song made before 911?

[MAZ1N00]

@KneeGrow95 What? This Album was releasedin like 2006 9/11 was 2001. Don't call people retarded when you obviously aren't the brightest apple in the bunch.

[A0SAD0AMERICAN]

@KneeGrow95 the song your looking for is called jimmy from enima....that song was made in 96.....everybody needs to read his songs like a book.....starting from his first album........jimmy is about 9-11...all others were made after 9-11..so you need too look at them as hidden news...this man is very smart for doing this...my thing is how did he know????..over a dead ohio sky 11 is there and will be waiting,defending is light and wondering....hmmmm..

[KneeGrow95]

Sorry everyone but it's about hypocrites.

[fruckles]

this song makes me feel like standing up for myself...but that doesnt matter

cause im just some random person as are all of you...soooo

just enjoy the song and shut the fuck up

[islandcruiser45]

is there a gathering blue reference in this song?

[jsbud333]

awesome song. some of the lyrics in this vid are wrong tho

[A0SAD0AMERICAN]

this song is about 911.......and the fake hood that our gov gave us as a story to go kill people for there land....

[wassupuidiotsalt]

@A0SAD0AMERICAN NO! sorry to be harsh, but it's about kangaroo courts that almost all the time, hang innocent pepole thought to be drug dealers or killers.

[A0SAD0AMERICAN]

@wassupuidiotsalt If you look a little bit deeper it includes what looks like a court mishap....if you read it like a book...the rest of his albums from start...it looks like a trick was played on somebody,someone, or something.this album came out way after 9-11...so what i see is a trick played...9-11,people were found....taliban,and the court says they were guilty.....all by a passport that was blue found on the grounds of the world trade center...indigo....

[wassupuidiotsalt]

@A0SAD0AMERICAN MY GOD! It DOES connect. Thanks for a better meaning of this song!

[repodepotrocks]

The Pot from Tool very good pissed off rock song!!

[Raynecolwell]

i like how he say's "stoones"... hehe

[metalbrianl4d]

I used to think he said "I'm balls deep in muddy water"

[GeneralRonnie98]

@metalbrianl4d XD me too

[kevoramma]

@metalbrianl4d That is hilarious. Thank you for your honesty.

[zyan05]

[SooperFlooter]

The meaning is soo deep for all of tool's songs. Everyone is right in their explanation, yet in the same way, everyone is wrong....its a never-ending downwards spiral that heads for arguement, fighting, war, and eventually will be the downfall of mankind itself......that will only cause more mass chaos untill everything disappears.....leaving no human remnants behind.......Mom's gonna fix it all soon....

[danthecurious]

It is so difficult for us to let that out sometimes. I sometimes wish I can liberate others. However, I am aware of how little I know and how others can help themselves. Like tool says, I want what I want. That is also a description of us. I want peace, compassion and love however that is not how the universe works. I just wish sometimes we could agree that we don't know shit and realise we have to work together. Then I talk to those who want to be above everyone, not easy (see rosetta stoned)

[rsd2nd]

i think its talkin about 911 to an extent and all the crap we are sold daily or as someone else replied, "the pot calling the kettle black" .

[rsd2nd]

[CrowbarOfJustice]

i am sorry but krayzie is being very immature, if he doesn't like tool why comment on it? why even watch the video in the first place? maybe i am a moron for responding to him.

[TheMetallicDk]

I wonder who'll be the first moron to flame the idiot below me.

[krayzie1234567]

what the fuck, tool is fucking shit. whats wrong with you metal dick heads... 50 Cent till i die, faggots!

[CrowbarOfJustice]

@krayzie1234567 < comment down this until we don't have to look at his pathetic comment, 50 cent till you die? thats a short life :P

[artistsarefakenow]

@CrowbarOfJustice no its cool dude. hes just ignorant of how stupid that genre of music really is

[corollasr51]

@krayzie1234567 Your a fuckin joke! You dont know the first thing about music! Do you?

[krayzie1234567]

@corollasr51 lol. Just wanted to pass time and see your derrogative responses. You did everything i hoped you would. Thanks guys <3.

Btw, Tool are cool.

[corollasr51]

Respond to this video... You probably dont even know the first thing about rap! Come on! 50 cent?

[aliceinchain315]

as i do see that the song wasnt made about weed i do see that when they made its meaning was to make people hear about getting high and after that may not think past that so as u think that its just this one idea isnt right. i think it goes both ways to play a joke or to make people do some crit thinking. but love the song and ty for your veiw on the song :)

[bryanCire2010]

[boredBoondoggler]

They must've been sooo, SLY.....They must've BEEN SOOO....SLY!

They're elbows deep in bloody fodder......

They must've been sooo, SLY.....They must've BEEN SOOO....SLY!

They're elbows deep in bloody fodder......

[SobolewskiKing]

tool is the single greatest band of all time

[liquid49286]

Sorry to let all you internet B. A.'s down, but the description calls for you to put your comment on song meaning, so its not depressing to see all the "arguements".

[JustFour4Laughs]

i think its about weed being ilegal and people gettin "hung" for it. (idiots)

[liquid49286]

Maynard said what I didn't know I was feeling.

[EncypherMC]

@liquid49286 exactly!! hes your therapist, and mine and all us tool fans, amazing with words, more than songs in my opinion

[metamaniac420]

@liquid49286 that may be even deeper of a statement then you know, fuckin nice man. That is fucking bad ass

[XtraEnergized]

This is the only band that explains my state of mind right now!

[49rockman]

Why did he put *s around head at :09?

[1icantchoose]

Best TOOL song by far!!!

[tiredofmisery]

It says "rape a savior!" I think?? Maybe I am wrong but some of these lyrics seem wrong.

[BornOfTheMachine]

@tiredofmisery Steal, Borrow, Refer, Save your shady inference.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS THE LYRICS!! GODDAMN!!!! But i dont really like the video... Love tool and all their songs but, just the way you made the video, it sucks

[SwordOfWulves]

@thetapemarshmallow How can you make it better? really its a lyrics video for crying out loud...

[ihatequeers1]

one of the greatest rock songs ever made

[ashs2ash]

YEP... iM HigH!!

[raptorhunter24]

awsome vid this is my brother band no im really serious no lie love you joey :) yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[mynameisbob333]

this was very well contructed and it is indeed a great song

[DonMiffioso]

this is the best song in the universe!!!!

[NearbyHermit]

Ok, by watching the video ...

It was something like '' You must have been ... Tool 10.000 Days pictures ''

I started laughing from that.

[Xxxyzyz5698]

Maynard's voice is the sound of a grilled cheese sandwich having an orgasm. It's that intense.

[DanyMauro46]

I love this band

[666miyuru]

The

Opposite

Of

Lame

[watsthefuknproblem]

you got the meaning for cozend indigo all wrong and at 5:52 you fucked up the lyrics the second "eyeballs deep in muddy waters" is ment to say your balls deep in muddy waters! you are a dumbshit actully listen to the song next time you make a vid of it... fucken numbnuts!

[mygerbilsnameisfez]

@watsthefuknproblem ur the fukn problem

[DelicateDecay]

@mygerbilsnameisfez

I agree!

[watsthefuknproblem]

you got the meaning for cozend indigo all wrong

[Wintallica]

If this is the most amazing song you've ever heard, you definitely have to listen to more music.

[666HerpDerp]

@Wintallica You should be shot, im sorry it had to be done good sir xD

[Wintallica]

@666HerpDerp nawh dawg xD

[bbennett0829]

@Wintallica your right.....Rosetta Stoned is the best song ive ever heard.

[JMSMInc]

Makes me think of the vietnam war with images like people eyeball deep in muddy water.

The Kangaroo court thing, I didn't know, thank you.

[ApathyDERP]

@JMSMInc Maynard (the singer) was in the army after all

[JMSMInc]

Makes me think of the vietnam war with images like people eyeball deep in muddy water.

He makes me feel like he is speaking in past tense words, like "you must have been high""done hung"

and now we are crying

The Kangaroo court thing, I didn't know, thank you.

[TheMFagBurgler]

pretty sure at the end it says eyeballs deep in bloody waters. eyeballs deep in muddy waters. ganja p-lease. just a thought -_-

[ToOlOGT22]

the ending of this song is probably my favorite ending ever, maybe even more than Ænima

[Ebamber3]

am i the only one that thinks this song is just telling people not to judge other people for anything?? no matter how much money you make or how much you're worth

[Ebamber3]

am i the only one that thinks this song is just telling people not to judge other people for anything??

[SparkDancer]

Respond to this video... It's truly depressing to see people argue about what the song means. Tool's music does have a meaning, yes. But that meaning isn't set in stone. Their songs are made for you to find your own interpretation. Stop trying to tell someone they're wrong when they disagree and just enjoy the music.

[Blorguehad]

@SparkDancer as with all art, each person takes their own interpretation.

[SeeThroughHead1]

@SparkDancer its like Lennon said: "it means whatever you want it to mean"

[xXALMOSTEASYXx]

@SparkDancer i disagree. i think arguing is where people benefit the most. it allows you to see the same thing prom another persons point of view

[alexed18]

@SparkDancer thats why they rarley make muzik videos too

[MrJon7990]

@SparkDancer im gona have to disagree with you partly...tools songs mostly do have meanings maybe not all but i havent heard one that dosent yet like stinkfist aenima vicarious 46&2 etc....im not sure of the meaning to this song but im sure its there.....but your right people who argue about trivial things are idiots and should just enjoy awesome music like tool

[Ben6466]

@SparkDancer you got that RIGHT...you know what it means?it means you love this song an band.

[GeneralRonnie98]

The BASSIST is just awesome!!!!!!!!

(((( and Maynard is awesome too ))))

[BenZeneProject]

I always thought he was saying "pissing over my black halo".

Still think Maynard ought to chill out on the overly harsh mmj critique. It's been used as medicine since 2727bc. Check out run from the cure- the rick simpson story to see what mmj is good for.

[JustFour4Laughs]

@BenZeneProject im pretty sure part of this song is about weed being illegal and people getting "hung" for it maynard, from what he's shown me through his music has no set moral alignment, he has only pointed out injustice and ingnorance.

[BenZeneProject]

@JustFour4Laughs Maybe that too. Lyrics in the cd cover would be nice sometimes. Other than that I still love tool.

[ThePowerofMusicDnB]

@JustFour4Laughs I thought for the longest too that it was about weed. But as Sinzorak pointed out in the near bottom of the video discription it's more about hipocracy and "the pot" calling the kettle black. But as Sparkdancer also said the meanings of their songs aren't set in stone. (I still like to think it's about weed when im getting baked tho xD)

[kroovyandcal]

to not realize whatsover that this song implicitly references the blues (weeping shades of indigo), the color of a person's skin, in particular the brown skinned americans that came up with the blues, the "black" kettle, the muddy waters overt reference, and think that this song has something merely to do with the drug marijuana is outlandish

[kroovyandcal]

you missed in the chorus the "high" that comes before the word eye. this reference has to deal with things such as the eye on the top of the pyramid in our dollar bill. it has to deal with me. this song has to deal with me on a very personal level. it has to deal with my thought processes and this angry responsorial to my thought processes by james maynard keenan. are all of you too blind not too see the race references here? Khazar p-lease. this song is far more brilliant than any of you notice

[XifuckinghatethisX]

@kroovyandcal James Maynard Keenan?

[burntoastman]

Kangaroo refers to Kangaroo court, meaning an unfair, dishonest system a farce or lack of justice as the elite or oligarchy control the outcome.

They tell us to be good hard workers, pay out taxes, obey the rules, and but then they are doing everything they tell us not too.

look up Martin Armstrong and see why he is in jail for not playing with wall street or look at Mike Ruppert book Crossing the Rubicon or documentary COLLAPSE or even FOOD INC see the shit that is behind the curtain

[monkeyboy20202]

this isnt on itunes. why?

[bowb2]

@monkeyboy20202 tool doesnt want there music on itunes i dont remember why they just never supported or liked the idea of it i think it had to do with there artwork in there albums

[rustynovak]

ok so there is no more questions about this song the whole thing about kangaroo be stoned he's guilty as the government is the fact that no matter what we all do illegal or not we are all guilty of something the fact that they mention ganga dont mean shit thats why the lyric who are you to wave your finger's and the one about weeping shades of indgo have any of you ever heard the quote crocdile tears that's what he's talking about so there you have it people

[TheIronVoid]

Brilliant video. Well done :D

[edgebloodflower]

So the Tea Party wrote a love song to Obama?!?! LOL

[winikten1]

@edgebloodflower ROFL no shit right?

[dhockey2]

the lyrics are actually wrong in this vid, right around 5:49 the lyrics should read eyeballs deep in muddy water, your balls deep in muddy water, ganga for life

[monkeyboy20202]

DAMMIT I CANT FIND THE TOOL ON ITUNES WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY NOT ON ITUNES IS APPLE THAT RETARDED TO NOT KNOW GENIUS MUSIC WHEN THEY FUCKING HEAR IT

[Pauliester123]

@monkeyboy20202 Take a chill pill compadre.

[reedo1703]

@monkeyboy20202 they don't allow their music on iTunes.

[Mickjaggerismygf]

@reedo1703 I always wondered why....... so.... why? lol

[reedo1703]

@Mickjaggerismygf I don't know really. My best guess would be Christians own it or run it and don't want Tool's message to be heard. But that's just a stab in the dark.

[ZephirDX]

I wouldn't put it past Tool that "be stoned" is being used with a dual meaning @ 5:15 Looks like the meaning can go either way.

[az111709]

Kangaroo = kangaroo courts

[hipoldlady57]

my god mjk 

[AshesxOfxAnarchy]

these lyrics go so deep... one of the greatest bands of all time. PERIOD.

[Kurtis575]

The best song ever, simple as that.

[pipitopinto]

Eyeballs deep in muddy waters

Your balls deep in muddy waters

Ganja? P-lease!

You must have been out your mind

[gokabo7]

[Nedak: "eye hole deep in muddy waters" - Hurricane Katrina

"kangaroo done hung the jury with the innocent" - Abu Ghraib

"kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent" -

Gitmo

"Cozened Indigo" - lieing for a cause

Bush arrested for cocaine possession and drunk driving - mysteriously the evidence gone

"the pot" calling the kettle black = Hypocrite

Whole song = about hypocrisy

"Ganja? puleeeze!, you must have been outta your mind" = if you think I'm talking about pot, you're crazy. ]]

[nick0black]

@gokabo7 Your flippin amazing lol honestly i could never figure that out

[gokabo7]

@nick0black neither could i....i just copied the description lol

[nick0black]

@gokabo7 OOOh lol.,.. still good work.. the only tool song that i know what it's about

[jayjames1978]

I've been kangaroo before

[milmano]

@jayjames1978  haven't we all?

[jack2785229SH]

I always thought he was saying "Im balls deep in muddy water" xD

[Swishersweet9804]

I would have loved to see this video on Beavis and Butthead......just kidding.

[osdon]

Meh, the bass line at the 2nd verse is so badass he could be singing about paint drying and I would still love this song.

[stapjaxt]

@osdon i agree haha just imagine him singing "the paint is drying now,there is a drop dripping down,now im weeping shades of cozend indigo.." XD
