I could never quite figure it out either, so I got fed up and wrote "bitch along with patience and reason." It's about the closest I could come to finding a balance. But I know it's still wrong.

It's "benched along...". The angels are on the sideline, out of the game, and just observing humanity. They've been sidelined, put out of the game - benched - by us in the same way that we've carelessly disposed of such things as "patience" and "reason".

Thank you for making that clear. I always agreed that it sounded right, but I never saw how it fit into the song. I guess I just didn't look hard enough. :)

Seems like it could be, but I can hear a "cutting" as oppose to cut thy love right in two and so on.

Try 'Gu-ide it all right into'
Double entendre is a Toolian forte. The angels are petulant, I believe, and though we're the ones doing the cutting and dividing, they are being called on to guide us.

I'm telling you guys, it's:
Donkey's talk and monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around.

He doesn't say monkeys twice, and he definitely doesn't start singing about donkeys!
"Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?"
Please, no more donkeys. Seriously.

It is either:

or
Gotta divide it all right in 2

Angels on the sideline again,
Been so long with patience and reason.
...'been so long' = theyve been on the sideline so long with patience and reason. It emphasizes how long theyve been sitting there watching this happen.
I don't see how in the world that couldn't make sense to you. I'm not saying it isn't in fact "BENCHED along", but I think it's pretty funny that you cant even figure out that "Been so long" makes perfect sense.
Personally, though, I think it's "Been too long". I definitely hear a t sound in there.

how about "god'll divide it all right in two"? it makes sense considering the christian premise of the song. that lyric could be saying, in a sense, "ok monkeys, you seem to want things divided in two so badly, well pretty soon if you keep this up god is just going to divide all of it for you," or, in other words, warning of the apocalypse. in the christian apocalypse, at the end, heaven and earth become one and there is, essentially, only heaven and hell. everything is divided right in two. makes sense.

I am of the belief that though the opening parts of the song describe how humanity divides it all right in two, the ending chorus is instead an asking of the angels to guide it all right into--as in right into the next stage. It sounds to me like Maynard's inflection is playing on this phonetic similarity, for he doesn't seem to be saying 'cut it all right in two'. I think he's dragging the 'guide' to say 'gu-ide it all right into'. Let me know what you all think.
All the best,

My Take
Right In Two
Angels on the sideline,
puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.
Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden
has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden.
Silly monkeys,
where there's one you're bound to divide it,
right in two.
Angels on the sideline,
baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason
and this is what they choose?
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys,
give them thumbs they forge a blade
and where there's one they're bound to divide it,
right in two.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys,
give them thumbs they make a club
and beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to lift an eye to heaven,
conscious of his fleeting time here.
Cutting our love, right in two.
Cutting our love, right in two.
Cutting our love, right in two.
Cutting our love, right in two.
Fight over ground, over earth, over sky.
They fight over life, over blood, over air and light,
over love, over some, over none.
They fight or they die, Over what?
Over writing!
Angels on the sideline again,
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again,
Wondering where this tug of war will end.
Cutting our love, right in two.
Cutting our love, right in two.
Cutting our love, right in two.
Right in two!
Right in two.

Hello again. I think you could be right with "Over writing!", but I think the second line above is:
"Wondering WHEN this tug of war will end"
And while the chorus line remains highly contentious, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to speak of cutting "love" in two (though I DO think he says "love" here) so I think it's more likely something like:
"Cut(ting) ALL I LOVE right in two"

Definitely "when this tug of war will end."
Also, I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I don't see hown anyone who doesn't need a hearing aid or perhaps an ESL course could think it's "benched along" or "mixing love" or "picture loving." Is it not clear as fucking day to anyone else that the line is "picture of impatience and reason"?

nope dont hear picture of anything, or picture loving, or anything beginning with picture.

You mean "Been so long with patience and reason"?
Probably because it doesn't make any sense. Is English your first language?
EDIT: I see you're from Germany. I guess not.

Wow, I didn't think anyone could come up with anything that made even less sense than "been so long" or "benched along." I stand corrected. Congratulations.

I agree "pendulum" makes no sense whatsoever.
But why do you have a problem with "benched along"?
Even if it isn't correct, it makes perfect sense!

Benched along with patience and reason??
angels have been benched and god added patience and reason to the list as well??
humans have patience and reason, so i think benched along is wrong.
Been so long with patience and reason, makes a little sense if you think of it as "the angels" patience in the human race coming to their senses and stopping all the nonsense... and reason may refer to us fighting and taking whatever we want, without first trying to solve problems in a diplomatic manner.
in short, the angels dont understand why were so screwed up or why we cant fix it, and theyre growing tired and impatient, all the while they cant do anything to fix it, since they are on the outside looking in.

Par K?
ex-squeeze me?
are we in court? its just my opinion... but you dont think humans have patience?, and the ability to reason?
and yes we humans do have patience and reason. How we choose to use them is up to us. Another word comes to mind... humble ( i think humble could fit right in between patience and reason) ... a lot of humans are void of being humble, but have the ability to be. So if you wanna call that fact then so be it.

Hey relax, guy- it was a flippant joke. But still, I think that's the point of the song. We, as a species, have displayed flashes of patience and reason, so we know we're capable of such; yet the results of human interaction seldom reflect those virtues. "Benched along" makes perfect sense in that context- though I'm not discounting your version either. They're both sensical, they're both phoenetically plausible, so what is the point of rehashing it?

Not benched by God! Benched by us!. It makes perfect sense I tell you. Us silly monkeys have put the angels on the sideline - benched them - by ignoring them and their advice in the same way that we have carelessly disposed of such virtues as patience and reason.

Wow, I really like how you put things in bold. Unfortunately, it doesn't really prove your point, and the line doesn't make that much sense. I mean, you could argue that "bent along with patience and reason" makes sense too, but I don't think anyone would argue that. "Picture of impatience and reason" makes perfect sense, and referring to someone as the picture of [insert quality here] is somewhat common in the English language. I implore you all to listen to the song again.
And Terry, "been too long with patience and reason" makes even less sense than "benched along," which should be obvious to anyone who isn't a complete retard.

why would the "angels on the sideline again" be a picture of "impatience and reason", specifically reason, when the entire point of the song is that the cause of the angels being on the sideline is humanity's nonuse of reason? it would have to be "picture of impatience and irrationality"
benched along with patience and reason...where are you when you're benched in a sports game? the sideline. completely removed from whats going on, just like the angels in this song.

I like bold and italics, but I don't like unwarranted arrogant sarcasm.
"Benched along..." could not conceivably make more sense. Explain to me please how you think that it in some way fails to make complete sense.

I never said "picture of..." doesn't make sense. But it simply isn't what's said in the song. I've listened for it and IMO it just doesn't fit. He doesn't say "picture", and I can definitely hear the final "~ng" for either "long" or "along" as opposed to your suggested "of".
