Suck and suck
Suckin' up all you can, suckin' up all you can suck and suck
Workin' up under my patience like a little tick
Fat little parasite
Suck me dry
My friend is bruised and borrowed
You thieving bastards
You have turned my blood cold and bitter
Beat my compassion black and blue
Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting
I hope you're choking
I hope you choke on this
I hope you're choking
I hope you choke on this
Taken all I can, taken all I can, I can take
Taken all you can, taken you can, we can take
Got nothing left to give to you
Blood suckin' parasitic little tick
blood suckin parasitic little
Blood suckin' parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go
Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting
Suck me dry
Suck, suck me dry
Sucking me dry
Suck, suck me dry
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
'Cause this is what you're getting
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke
Suckin' up all you can, suckin' up all you can suck and suck
Workin' up under my patience like a little tick
Fat little parasite
Suck me dry
My friend is bruised and borrowed
You thieving bastards
You have turned my blood cold and bitter
Beat my compassion black and blue
Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting
I hope you're choking
I hope you choke on this
I hope you're choking
I hope you choke on this
Taken all I can, taken all I can, I can take
Taken all you can, taken you can, we can take
Got nothing left to give to you
Blood suckin' parasitic little tick
blood suckin parasitic little
Blood suckin' parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go
Hope this is what you wanted
Hope this is what you had in mind
'Cause this is what you're getting
Suck me dry
Suck, suck me dry
Sucking me dry
Suck, suck me dry
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
'Cause this is what you're getting
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke

Me and a friend of mine both agree this song is about Tool fans, always telling the band they should sound like this or do this or do that, never taking into consideration that a band grows and does what THEY want to do, not necesarily what will make fans most happy. That's not to say it's about EVERY Tool fan, but a lot of times people that call themselves fans are the most vicious critics there are. At first, I thought the song was just about critics in general, but to be so spiteful and negative towards just normal critics? The band devotes a lot of time and effort to fans, and to have those fans spit back in their face, and tell them that what they're doing isn't any good? That's a knife in the heart.
So, to me, this song is Maynard letting all those douche fans know that he hopes they choke on all those words that bleed him dry.
I don't think so. Lol who would complain about tools music? Especially if they're a "fan". And how are these critics parasites? Also one of the lyrics is "we got nothing left to give you". If this song means what you say it does, then that lyric doesn't make sense because it would be like tool sayin" you ungrateful fans! We're not gonna make anymore music for you!". I think this song is more likely about record companies and rude people in general. You can interpret the song however you like, I just don't think tool has that terrible of fans, and I don't they would have felt so strongly about the few asshole critics to actually write this song just for them because I don't think the opinions of a few rude fans would perturb tool too much. However record companies trying to tell tool what to do and what their music should sound like would definitely get under their skin! Tool probably intended for this song to have many interpretations.
I can't disagree with you, but my opinion that the song could be about the band performing and putting out their hearts to their fans, only to have many of them complain about their deviations from their earlier work, definitely still stands.
