Lyrics
Choices always were a problem for you
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to use you
Like me, like me
Like me, like me
If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me now, don't you judge or question
You are broken now, but faith can heal you
Just do everything I tell you to do
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you
My god's will
Becomes me
When he speaks
He speaks through me
He has needs
Like I do
We both want
To rape you
Jesus Christ
Why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now
If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me now, don't you judge or question
You are broken now, but faith can heal you
Just do everything I tell you to do
Jesus Christ
Why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now
Jesus Christ
Why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes, blind me with your lies now
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you
My god's will
Becomes me
When he speaks
He speaks through me
He has needs
Like I do
We both want
To rape you

Tool – Opiate

A huge satire of religion.
The song (and album) get their title from a Karl Marx quote:
Die Religion … ist das Opium des Volkes
(“Religion… is the opiate of the masses”)

|
Tool – Hush
|

This song is a satire of censorship.
To drive the point home, the music video has the band members naked and holding parental advisory signs over their bodies.

Tool – Sweat
|
|
Like many of Tool’s songs, this one is vague enough to be open to many interpretations, from being about a drug trip to being about reliving the same life over and over again.

[Intro] / Yeah / Ready / [Verse 1] / I know you well, you are a part of me / I know you better than I know myself / I know you best, better than anyone / I know you better than I

Tool – Flood (Live)
|

All I knew and all I believed / [00:29.36]Are crumbling images / That no longer comfort me / I scramble to reach higher ground / Some order and sanity / Or something to comfort me

|
“Cold and Ugly” was recorded live in a pair with “Jerk-off”, and describes an outwardly perfect woman who is inwardly damaged, “cold and ugly”.
|
|
Tool – Disgustipated

A portmanteau of disgust and constipated (obviously).
Another religious satire.
