Tool - Ænima

"The underlying thing isn't so much 'Learn to swim because L.A.'s going into the ocean.' It's more like, 'Get back in touch with the collective unconscious and learn to swim with everyone in there. Know how connected everything is. Literally, figuratively, spiritually.'"
Maynard James Keenan


Tool - Ænima (Salival DVD)

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
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow 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.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a bullshit three ring circus sideshow 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.

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 cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones.
Fuck all those gun-toting hip gangster wannabes.

Fuck retro anything. Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and Fuck your short memory.

Fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional, insecure actresses.

Cause 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 watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

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 all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.
