Even though life is really, really good for me these days, I still read about / see things in this country and the world that really bring this song to mind.

I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
bull-shit three ring cirrrrcus siiiideshow of
Freaks here in this, hopeless fucking, hole we call LA.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time.
Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time.
Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
(Learn to swim. 3x)
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to beeeeeeeee.
(Learn to swim. 8x)
Fuck L Ron Hubbard and Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all these gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes.
(Learn to swim. 8x)
Fuck retro anything. Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and Fuck your short memory.
(Learn to swim. 8x)
Fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses.
(Learn to swim. 8x)
Cuz I'm praying for rain
and I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna see it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all awaaaaaaaaay.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it come down.
(Suck it down. 2x)
Flush it down.

Agreed, Tool is one of the greatest ever. Alot of times I find myself humming this one while climbing...
So familiar
And overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now
Embracing you, this reality here
This one, this form I hold now
So wide-eyed and hopeful
Wide-eyed and hopefully wild
We barely remember
What came before this precious moment
Choosing to be here
Right now
Hold on, stay inside
This body holding me
Reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel
Eternal, all this pain is an illusion

combs, parabol/parabola is one of my definite favorites. when it comes to climbing, for me, lateralus couldn't be more about it. have any of you seen them live?! my god, what a trip. let's hear some live tool stories!
i'll go first:
my girlfriend and i saw them at bonaroo (dont go to bonaroo) last year. so after a song, we hear, "ladies and gentlemen, Tom-fucking-Morello!" and then they break into lateralus. anyways, danny starts destroying the drum solo and i swear to god, there's this like aura or forcefield around him and he looks like some mutant alien creature b/c his hands and entire torso are just a blur of fluid movement that seems impossible.
then some chick in front of us wigged out and the rent-a-cops took her down dog the bounty hunter style. guess she had some sort of epiphany and realized that tool was sent from another planet to save the human race and couldn't handle the truth. weak.

Tool is it for me, the greatest rock band ever! I've seem them twice. The first time shorty after 9/11. Maynard said something profound about the terrorist attack that no one understood and he took some shit for it. As for Danny Carey the drummer check this out -

And for a old interview of Maynard check this out -
