Parental WARNING [EXPLICIT LYRICS] .....Tool lyrics are disturbing, violent and graphic.

Children who listen to these lyrics may experience depression, anger, fear and other symptoms.

It is highly suggested that parents inspect their children's CD collection for "Tool" and review the CD so that they may consult with their child about the music and remove it from their collection.
If your child has internet access, be aware that he or she may be able to obtain this music from various places on the internet that allow downloading of music.

u gotta check this site out...tis funny indeed.

www.toolband-sucks.com

...the fish logo in the top left corner should give u a good indication as to who is "oh so concerned for todays youth".

hahahaha, this is great. so, basically, children who listen to these lyrics may suffer an emotional response. how atypical of lyrics in general....

drugstore cowboy · 02-06-03

well...u know how dangerous emotions can be!
i mean if everyone out there were freely able to find and express emotions(other than those of the fish society).....it'd be chaos!!!

if its not roses and kitty cats (but not pussy cats because pussy can be a reference to the female genitalia) ofcourse parents are going to get their panties in a wad...mine always had theirs in a wad but i managed to get around it.

You got around the wad and into the sweet spot?

...thats a groaner...

But yeah, censorship is bull...

i love how they got "think for yourself, question everything..." in there.

a lil variation of "think for yourself; question authority" by timothy leary, a quote tool regularly use.

the fish are getting smart ladys and gentlemen, they're using tactics and strategy!

While i think these fish people need to be served raw at the nearest japanese restaraunt... I also think tool sucks anyways. Not because of their lyrics. Because they inspire teenage angst.

woixiow · 02-07-03

arent there more "damaging" things out than tool that they shoudl be more concerned about? HAHA like six feet under LMAO what crap i know why though because hardly any one listens to them. but i mean come on. why waste the time?

thefinalw0rd · 02-07-03

Because they have to blame SOMEone for the fact that they don't know how to raise a kid.

Think for yourself...question everything you read on the Tool Website

hmmmmm...I wonder if the "Good Book" would hold-up under such scrutiny. Maybe they should focus their efforts on that. Could be mighty...revealing.

* What these parents fail to realize is that there is a powerful subliminal message encoded in every record, CD, etc. that in the event that one is destroyed, the owner should immediately go buy another copy. Think I’m kidding? How many of you have bought (or obtained through other means) a new copy after your first one was scratched, stolen, lost, removed by a guardian, etc.? I thought so.

I think they forgot to mention the subliminal messages in tampons, lightbulbs, refrigerators, cats, plates, diapers, computers, cars, earrings, beds, TVs, rugs, tires, and blow dryers.

Uh, bro, I don't think that has anything to do with sublimality. I believe that's the urge to keep listening to the music...

AMEN!!

Parents and sorten groups of society will allways hate sorten types of music its been that way for ever and it will always be that way

Tool are a awesome band that play great music and I am shore they stir up emotions in their fans but thats the sign of true art if it does not make you think, feel or question then it's not worth listening too

bottom line people will not buy some thing unless they like it and wan't to here more
