Ok, here's the updated lyrics of what we've all contribued: (4/19 at 4:45 pm EST)

Things in [...] are disputed and could be what the lyrics are.

TOOL – Right in Two
10,000 Days

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.
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 live tonight in heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.

Cut it all right in two [Guide on right in two or Glide on right in two]
Cut it all right in two
Cut it all right in two
Cut it all right in two

Fight all the time,
Over the blade, over sky
Fight over, lie over, blew over,
?????? of a winner ????????
Fight for me, die for me, live for our lies.

Angels on the sideline again,
Been so long [Been too long or Bent along] with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again,
Wondering where this tug of war will end.

Cut it all right in two. [Guide on right in two or Glide on right in two]
Cut it all right in two.
Cut it all right in two.
Right in two.

hmm, i would think the part
?Well there’s one of you who is bound to divide it?
could be more like
well there's one about to divide it...
i hear an "and before the line "This is what they choose"

thats really all i found. good job so far. we'll probably need some insight before we can figure out a good chunk of the rest you dont already have.

"Cut it open, right in two" reminds me of radiohead's "We are standing on the edge" from Lucky that kind of "is it death? enlightenment? the end of the world?" but really meaning any change is better than this. Maynard has done this (aenima) before but never so eloquently. I really love this song.

In this song indicative of the rest of the album in style because it shits all over vicarious and thats the only other one ive heard.

A few suggestions:

Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
Where there's One you're bound to divide it
Right in Two


and

Silly monkeys give them thumbs they forge a blade
And where there's One they're bound to divide it
Right in Two


and

Repugnant is a Creature who would (not will) squander the ability
To live tonight in heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here


^thanks for that one, it was killing me!

Honestly, it sounds like he's saying "Guide on" or "Glide on right in Two"
I don't hear "Cut it all" at all

And the hard part:

Fight all the time
Over the blade, over sky
Fight over, lie over, blew over?
? of a winner ?
fight for me, die for me, live for our lies?


That's a tough part to hear....

And finally, "Been so long with patience and reason" sounds like "Bent along" or "Been too long"

Those are right for sure.

Right again.

I honestly think he's saying "Cut it all right in two" Its more like "cuuuuuttt itall right in two", like blending the words. I could be wrong though. Other opinions here?

Closer than what we have so far. The firtst line is right, and the last line isright for sure.

Quote:

I'm pretty sure what we have is correct on this one.....


Thanks for all your help, we almost have this whole song. Such a powerful one for lyrics.

A few suggestions:

Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
Where there's One you're bound to divide it
Right in Two
Those are right for sure.

Quote:

Silly monkeys give them thumbs they forge a blade
And where there's One they're bound to divide it
Right in Two
Right again.

Quote:
Repugnant is a Creature who would (not will) squander the ability
To live tonight in heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here
Right again.

Quote:
Honestly, it sounds like he's saying "Guide on" or "Glide on right in Two"
I don't hear "Cut it all" at all
I honestly think he's saying "Cut it all right in two" Its more like "cuuuuuttt itall right in two", like blending the words. I could be wrong though. Other opinions here?

Quote:
Fight all the time
Over the blade, over sky
Fight over, lie over, blew over?
? of a winner ?
fight for me, die for me, live for our lies?
Closer than what we have so far. The firtst line is right, and the last line isright for sure.

Quote:
And finally, "Been so long with patience and reason" sounds like "Bent along" or "Been too long"
I'm pretty sure what we have is correct on this one.....


Thanks for all your help, we almost have this whole song. Such a powerful one for lyrics.

really love the lyrics in this one

some great imagery and relevant metaphors using angels and monkeys and creative-musically the most impressive track on the album in my opinion.

Seems to be a continuation of the idea of free will/power of suggestion/intention in Intension, I think he's presenting us with the idea of man's possiblities and in this song he's presenting us with an image of our misuse of these possiblities.

Could it be:

"Cut it all, it all right in two?"

Sounds like he signs "it all" twice.

What I'm picking up from these lyrics, is the irony, that although we've been "blessed with reason," we act so irrationally, considering the lines "And this is what they choose," "how they survive so misguided is a mystery to me."

Also consider "father blessed them all with reason," and "angels on the sidelines, baffled and confused." Apparently, God has given us reason, but at the same time, divine images really have no clue either, considering how baffled and confused the angels are. How can we be given coherent reason by something that is just as irrational as we are? you could argue this song kind of points out the flaws in the idea of intelligent creation, saying that if God did indeed make the Earth and model ourselves after him, he is just as confused and clueless as humans are. And honestly, how religion has survived so misguided is a mystery to me. Is this the intended meaning or submeaning of the song? Maybe. Maybe not.

Refute as you will.

My edits with additions of all thats been posted.

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 old 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.
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 live tonight in heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here

Cut it right all right in two (x4)

Fight all the time
Over blade, over sky
just Fight over life, over [?], over [?]
over life, over love,
over sight, over love
fight all the time
just fight all the time

Angels on the sideline again
Been so long with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end

Cut it right all right in two
Cut it right all right in two
Cut it right all right in two
Right in two
Right in two

The angels described are not baffled and confused in the sense you mean it. You seem to imply they are confused in some 'general' way. But, quite rationally, they are merely confused by us humans, because our ways are so insane and incomprehensible. How and why do we live like this? This is what the angels cannot work out. But the entire point of this song is conveyed precisely because the angels are able to see this madness for what is is. They are the rational voice of the song.
