[Maynard:]
Living on the street shores
He didn't learn and wanted children
Said, "What is there left to stay alive for?"
He doesn't wanna see it...

[Maynard:]
He didn't wanna deal with it
Here they come, feelings that come as natural
Whatever left, he considered a loss, y'all
He doesn't wanna see it...

[Maynard:]
Running away, getting some kinda cure
"What is there left to keep him alive?" she said
Give him your love, give him your love to save him
Give him your love, give him your love to save him

[Maynard:]
Give him your love, give him your love to save him
Don't run away, give him your love to save him
Give him your love, give him your love to save him
Give him your love...

[Zach 2x:]
You can kill the revolutionary
But you can't kill the revolution
[Zach & Maynard 2x:]
You can kill the revolutionary
But you can't kill the revolution

[Zach:]
Lies, negative indoctrination of our good selves
Promote feelings of such hopelessness, powerlessness
Suicide or a slower death from addiction
seemed to be the only way to stop the pain

[Maynard:]
Running...

[Zach:]
Lies, negative indoctrination of our good selves
Promote feelings of such hopelessness, powerlessness
Suicide or a slower death from addiction
seemed to be the only way to stop the pain

[Zach:]
Suicide seemed to be the only way to stop the pain
Suicide seemed to be the only way to stop the pain

[Zach 2x:]
You can kill the revolutionary
But you can't kill the revolution
[Zach & Maynard 4x:]
You can kill the revolutionary
But you can't kill the revolution

    General Comment:So many idiots here. SO MANY IDIOTS.

    That guy who said someone should die for not knowing this is a real song is an idiot. That guy that said Tool and Rage Against the Machine were the worst bands was an idiot. Those people that all ganged up on him saying he has no taste in music are idiots.

    Bah. Now what the song means to me is that people go to SongMeanings and have bitch wars about it. GAH!

    General Comment:"Political BASHING bands!?" Political "reforming" bands more like it. They are not just for the destruction of evil, but for the creation and sustain of justice and freedom.

    General Comment:Chris is an ass but personally I don't think Tool or Rage are the greatest in the world. Sure i like their music but personally I like the oldies the best. I could say that or I can be like Chris and say "Tool is fucking retarded and bullshit" Actually I've never heard this song and it sounds interesting. Tool and Rage are my favorite political bashing bands. ANd actually 23 Eye person if you want a long and complex song listen to Neil Young's 18 minute "Ordinary People" It may not be your taste but Neil sings from beginning to end for the whole time pausing a few moments to do a small solo. And also I the older bands are better at playing their instruments than any modern band I've listened to. But if anyone here bashes me they are retarded because I didn't be an asshole like Chris. Sure accuse me of being pompous because POMPOUSNESS IS MY LEAST FAVORITE CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL TIME! If anyone decides to reply they have permission to email me. It's on my profile.

    General Comment:dude chris, your an ignorant dumb fuck man... you seriously think tool just makes some "strange noises" with their instruments and then records it and calls it good?... ok lets see we have danney cary seriously one of the best drummers, maynard with amazing vocals, jones who can really play some serious guitar, and a very talented bassist... you have all these talented artists putting themselves into their music. their music is extremely complex def more complex than anything you listen to, and just bc you dont like them doesn't mean they suck it just means that u suck ;)
