Lyric discussion by OneNinerEightFour 

Some politicians, lawyers and prosecutors who drink unhealthy amounts of alcohol are quick to

point their fingers at non-violent pot "offenders", refusing to give them a fair trial (kangaroo

courts). Any defense of these people are quickly dismissed because they are just thought of as

being "potheads" or "being high". During Prohibition people who drank alcohol, whether they were

addicted to it or not, I shit you not, were called "juiceheads" who were "always drunk".

Basically, as others have mentioned: the pot calling the kettle back. And those who still think

that "the pot" is a mere analogy for "stupid" may proceed and continue to polish their

government's knob. Afterwards you can go to your local Christian drug den (bar) - A great way to

unwind and involve yourself in some politically correct rowdiness and stupidity. The Maynard

Worshippers in their Maynard is God shirts, drooped eyes and raised hands, as if, ironically

enough, are under the influence of opium. Tool fans who smoked large quantities of pot, getting

into the band through bands such as Korn, Limp Bizkit and the "STICK IT TO THE MAN ON THE

CORPORATE LABEL YO" band Rage Against the Machine. Pothead Tool fans who laughed after one of

their friends got their future destroyed by a pot conviction. Laughing even harder when one of

their other friends snitched on their parents. Working as police informants with smug smiles on

their faces after getting busted themselves. Today, all grown up, off the blind Maynard worship,

off the pot, chickenshit conformists (like their parents)... but still Tool fans. High on their

own overinflated egos, claiming: Tool is too much of an intellectual band to write a song about

something as stupid as marijuana. The song the Pot must have some deeper, subtle meaning. You see

the beyond stupid war on drugs is not a trendy thing to criticise. It used to be trendy to

blindly jump on the anti-Bush bandwagon and criticise the equally stupid war on terror instead.

Voting the Celebrity Rockstar President O'Bomba into power (mostly due to political correctness,

white guilt, and in fear of being labelled a racist) who recently laughed off a marijuana

legalization question, even though there's no way he would be president today if he got busted

during his drug-taking days (especially since he's black). For this, his sheep-like liberal

followers applauded - All grown up and high on prescription meds 1000 times more dangerous and

addictive than pot, eager to pour themselves a double when they get home and risk possible damage

to their livers (and their brains, though not much damage is needed there). Tool fans who listen

to a band who despises hypocrites and blind followers. Tool fans who listen to a band who quoted

Bill Hicks in their song Third Eye: "It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom."
