Who are you to wave your finger
You musta been out your head
I hold deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
And burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass
So don’t be tossin’ your stones around
You musta been, high
You musta been, high
You musta been
Foot in mouth and head of facile
So whatcha talking bout
Difficult to dance ‘round this one
Till you pull it out boy
You musta been so high
You musta been so high
Steal borrow rape your savior shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent
Now your weakness is the chosen interval
????
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been high, high
You musta been high, high
Who are you to wave your finger so full of it
I boast deep in muddy waters fuckin hypocrite
Liar, lawyer mirror shows me what’s the difference
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent
Now, your weakness is the chosen interval
?????
High, high
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been…
So who are you to wave your finger
Who are you to wave your bat (3:37)
That's as far as I can understand. I'm not too happy with the Kangaroo thing but I'm sure it's a metaphor for something, unless i'm totally wrong about the sound of Kangaroo.

"Kangaroo court" in terms of our legal system, means mock justice. It makes perfect sense. It's almost the same as the pot calling the kettle black. It's about mockery.

You're totally wrong about "rape your saviour." Nard clearly says, reefer, savior. There is no "p" sound.

I agree with the mock court because I can clearly see the other mockeries used. Such as "Foot in mouth" and " fuckin' hypocrite". But I'm not sure if he's saying reefer in any part of the song. And for future reference, telling someone you're wrong when you can't be sure of being right isn't the best way to sway someone's opinion.

I am not convinced that he says "reefer" at all.
The line sounds to me like:
"Now you WEEP in shades of chosen indigo"
Which makes "got lemon juice up in your eye" make a lot more sense.
Besides the fact that "reefer" is a pretty hokey reference, does anyone here buy blue pot?
Cheers.

No, I buy pot with indigo hairs. (I think indigo is closer to purple than blue. Ever hear of Purple Haze?)

First part sounds like this too me
Who are you to wave your finger
You musta been out your head
Eyeball deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
and i know this is wrong but i hear this next part like this and it makes me laugh.
Steal borrow rape your savior shady inference
Kangaroo dung hung the juror with the innocent....

I know it doesn't make much sense, but I've listened to the first part loud as hell, many times, on speakers and on headphones...it's definetely "hair". There's no D, and there is clearly an R...
I suggest anyone who believes otherwise does the same, definetely "hair". I know that contextually though it makes no sense and its driving me frigging insane.
Speaking of context, I think the end is "Ganja Puh-leeze!" Just cuz it flows with the next line.

It doesn't matter if it ryhmes. What matters is what the actual lyric on the album is.
I understand that it makes sense as "head" and he may say it in concert but I've listened closely to the album and cannot hear a "d" sound, but CAN hear an "r" sound. I don't care if he meant "head", the word that is communicated through the pronunciation on the album is "Hair."
He clearly could have said "head" if he wanted to because in the next line he says "dead" as you guys have pointed out. He's not having difficulty with pronunciation, he is simply saying "hair." This is so obvious that I cannot believe you guys do not see.
This has become a kangaroo court. You've decided what to believe without evidence to support it.
moneyisevil has the best argument (if he's right about the bootleg) but it still does not apply to what was said on the album. I've heard Maynard say many times that some of the songs change from performance to performance.
Foot in mouth and head up asshole, whatcha talkin bout?
You won't hear the truth in my words till you pull it out. </corny paraphrase>

Yeah..I know...not many posts...because I generally don't even like offering an opinion in forums...Mostly due to the fact that I get slammed by childish zen-wannabes who believe *in their existence* anyways that I am below them and needs be taught in their ways.
First off...wanna comment on the Coachella bootleg..which..by the way..I haven't even heard. But I saw someone up there say something like "after this bootleg" it's definately head. I dunno how long you've been a tool fan....but Maynard sings similar yet different lyrics during performances. On the CD though..it's Hair..at the beginning anyways.
As for the main reason I decided to post. The last kangaroo reference.. I got beat to it earlier. But what I'm hearing...and what is most likely the line there...is "Kangaroo Bestow THESE Guilty AS The Government". As in the Kangaroo court is Bestowing a verdict of Guilty on the Defendant AS though it were the government...though in reality it is not...it is a mere mockery of a Government..EH?!?!?! EH?!?!?! As in OUR CURRENT government...being a mockery of what a gov. should be. Just my two cents...go 'head (or hair) rip me a new asshole...I really don't care...I probably won't be back to see the replies...because it's just gonna be someone telling me how I'm wrong about "bestow" and "as". But listen. No...again. Nope..one more time...Now...spiral out....
P.S.-I find it Fucking HILARIOUS that Maynard still manages to provoke so much trivial debate over his lyrics...just by singing in a way that can be interpreted many many different ways...just like their songs. We all draw our own personal attachment to them. And NONE of them are right...not even mine. Therein lies the point all along....
Now..run along and seperate your bodies from your minds...

Trivial or not, this is the "Lyrics" thread, so bloody flaming arguments about "hair" or "head" are exactly what should be in this thread.

IMHO...
It's a heavily aspirated 'head'.
1st one is eyeHOLE deep in muddy water = head so far up your ass it's in shit (can we swear in here?)
'Now you're weepin' chosen shades of iindigo' sounds good, and if it's right, I think there'll be more than one meaning to the sentence (cf. the whole '11' thing in jimmy: 11's the age of a small boy (James of MJK = jimmy), 1+1=1, 11:11 and lightwaters/workers and storing as much light as you can, etc)
But, I ask you ladies and gentlemen, what is the meaning of that sentence?
'Weepin' chosen shades' might mean choosing the tears shown (you cry when you're blue/indigo), but because they're chosen they're fake tears (like crocodile tears)?
Working on the premise that there's often more than one level of meaning to lyrics, I googled 'gold and indigo' and stumbled on an article called "When music turns from rapt gold and indigo to blood red", and it talks about music having colours. the last line of the article is:
"Crucially, Jansons maintained concentration across all four movements' the third of which was shaded in rapt gold and indigo, the fourth blood red."
Unlikely that we have our missing metaphor, however, does this ring bells with anyone?
Like I said, grist for the mill, and I'm sure eventually either someone will stumble upon a decent set of lyrics or meaning, or the lyrics will be released to TDN and our HEADaches will all be over.
Sorry.

He doesn't pronounce the last d on dead either but nobody seems to be screaming about him singing "You practically raised the dare!"

the chosen indigo bit is driving me NUTS!
something tells me the pronuncuation is wrong
surely, an american accent such as Maynards would pronounce it
In-di-go or In-DuH-go
rather than
in-deee-gyoh
just a thought!
that then got me onto thinking, what on earth ELSE sounds like that pronuncation!!!??
............ i have no idea other than i swear its not Weeping Chosen Shades of Indigo! (the Ch sound on Chosen sounds too much like a Kicking K, Kuh sound or even an Tuh sound)
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - someone give me maynard's number, i'll just call him and ask!

Why do you think maynard HAS TO rhyme here?!
heres a verse off track 4
Listen to the tales and romanticize
How we follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we rise to the height of our halo
yea hero and halo rhyme---but romanticize and overrun dont really rhyme too much...

I didn't say he had to, but he does, it's head and dead.
He doesn't pronounce the last d on dead, go listen, does that mean he's saying dare?
I can't fucking wait for the lyrics to come out so this is settled.

It sounds like "Steal, borrow reefer for your shady friends," to me, I'm probably wrong though, this is one I can't get.
Oh and, I'm sure it's "chosen interval."

Ive noticed with the weird
now your weeping shades of indigo
got lemon juice up in your eye
bits actually change each time he sings it - i think he sings it 3 times within the song, each time it sounds different, especially the last time round, near the end of the song
it sounds like he says
now you wait and change your chosen interval!
(blahdy blahdy eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)hehe

Fair enough, but I still don't think it says "reefer" anywhere in this song.
I totally agree with "Steal, borrow, reap, or save your shady inference" and "weep in shades of ______ indigo"

Ok i didn't do this, i found this on another site and they say these are the lyrics for the song i don't know if i believe it or not
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been out your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass so
Don't go tossin' your stones around
You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been
Foot in mouth and head up asshole
What you talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'til you pull it out, boy
You must have been so high
You must have been so high
Steel, borrow, reefer save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung no juror with the innocent
Now you weep and chase the chosen indigo
get lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high
Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fuckin' hypocrite
Liar, lawyer -- mirror show me
What's the difference?
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent
NOW
you weep and chase the chosen indigo
get lemon juice up in your eye
EYE
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind
Weakend shades of indigo
trapped without a reason
weakend shades of indigo
Liar, lawyer, mirror
For you what's the difference
Kangaroo be stoned
He's guilty as the government
NOW
you weep and chase the chosen indigo
get lemon juice up in your eye
EYE
Now when you pissed all over my black kettle
You musta been high, high, high, high
Eyeballs deep in bloody waters
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Ganja please!!!
You must have been out your mind

that verse fits the ABCB rhyme scheme, as does this verse, if you use the word head.
A: Who are you to wave your finger?
B: you musta been out yo' head
C: eyehole-deep in muddy water
B: you practically raised the dead.
and the ABCB rhyme scheme is used throughout the whole song.
so the word is "head."

A kangaroo COURT or kangaroo trial, also known as drumhead court-martial (or a Drumhead trial), is a sham legal proceeding or COURT. The term is often applied to COURTs subjectively judged as such, while others consider the court to be legitimate and legal. A kangaroo COURT may be a COURT that has had its integrity compromised; for example, if the judge is not impartial and refuses to be recused. It may also be an elaborately scripted event intended to appear fair while having the outcome predetermined from the start.
