Song lyrics
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been outta 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

Foot in mouth and head up ass
So whatcha talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'til you pull it out. boy,

You must have been so high

Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the jury with the innocent

Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
(Musta) got lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle.

You must have been high!

Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it
Eye balls 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're weeping shades of cozened indigo
(Musta) got lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle.

You must've 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

Weepin' shades of indigo
Shed without a reason
Weepin' shades of indigo

Liar, lawyer - mirror, for you what's the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned. He's guilty as the government.

Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
(Musta) got lemon juice up in your eye
Now when you pissed all over my black kettle.

You must've been high!

Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Ganja? P-lease!
You must have been out your mind

It's not only Maynard man, don't forget about Danny, Adam and Justin =P There's something different about this song that any other Tool song... maybe it's Maynard's voice when the song starts off.

This song, along with the entire album, is the best work Tool's done so far

Didn't mean to take away from the other three, but when you think The Pot, you think Maynard's vocals.

This song is so unoriginal for Tool it's not even funny. It's good, but they are definitely re-using some stuff. I know I've heard that bass line before...perhaps in Parabol?

This was the first song on the new album i hear. When I heard him start singing at the beggining I was like. "O god, Tool turned gay on me!" and then the bass kicks in with more vocals and then I was like "Holy shit thats awsome!" how can you not love it?

I don't have words to describe how incredible this song is. the lyrics, the drumming, the guitars, how it's all combined...i got the chance to dance to this song in one of the clubs here in Israel..and it's simply amazing...
my god....how perfect can a song be?!

I have to admit that I am probably not the biggest TOOL fan here. This was the first CD that I purchased by TOOL. However this song kicks so much ass, that I had to own it after I heard it on the radio only one or two times. I am somewhat familiar with their material as we have a pretty good radio station here and I may as well plug them..........93X(KXXR 93.7). So I have heard a lot of their songs. This is their best song in my opinion, however, I have not heard every song.

Nah.. this isn't their best song.. it's not even the best of 10,000 Days. Catchiest, definately, and it has potential to be a huge single, but it's probably 3rd or 4th off the album and in the lower teens of all-time Tool songs.


1. 10,000 Days
2. Rosetta Stoned
3. The Pot

damn damn damn haha thats all I can say. Ive been a Tool Follower since Undertow and I must say i was only 9 when that cd came out and My level of interest n the band has evolved with every album just liek they have and i must say as well. This is one of their best. Because several reasons. The Lyrics are clean. not mixed down with distortion liek 90 percent of his vocals are. You get to hear his voice perfectly the way It was inteded to be. And no this bass line was never used before everything is completely original. Just a little message to the dumb ass up there that said otherwise. so ya this is a long reply peace.

Honestly-- this song is why I started listening to Tool. I'd never really been into them until now... :/ Although, I will agree with the person who said this isn't the best song on the album.

This song is beyond incredible. I really and truly love it. The bass riffs are beyond amazing, and the vocals rock. The lyrics are awesome, sticking it to the hypocrites and lawyers. And kangaroos... But that doesn't matter right now. The song rocks hardcore, the new album rocks. It's a good thing.

Good song... i gotta say i didnt like it at first because its a bit tough to hear what hes saying at first... but nonetheless it does the typical tool thing where it grows on you due to its pure awesomeness. I think its tool's side of the argument with that asshat from "message to harry manback". What do you think?

As Tool being one of the greatest bands of all time I'de say that anyone who appreciates good music should own at least one Tool CD or AT LEAST have heard enough songs to get a better view of the band then what you get from just listening to radiohits like; The Pot.
I think that people who liked The Pot really should listen to other Tool songs!
It doesn't matter wich one, because they are all so undescibly great and! This band has put a new meaning to any positive adjective in every languish ever spoken on the face of this earth.
Allthough it's a great song and I really enjoy the sound and the feeling it brings, it is SO different to any other song Tool has produced!
I know that this is a common opinion among Tool fans, and I know that it is oftenly repeated but it's sad and great that The Pot is usually the first song newcomers to Tool hear.
It's sad because they could easily get the wrong opinion and view of the bands work. And therefor get dissapointed when hearing other material by Tool.
It is great because they then have achived what any musiclover must(in my opinion.)
That being listening to Tool.
(If this message seem to be confusing or just plain weird please reply, English is not my native languish you see and I am just happy to get help improving it! So if you can see any word or sentence wich could be corrected, do not feel stupid to contact me! Thanks in advance.)

Btw.. Sorry for such a huge post! Once again Tool and this song ROCKS!

The lyrics actually go


Who are you to wave your finger?
Ya’ 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.
Whatcha 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.

Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference.
King Guru done hung the juror with the innocent.

Now you’re weeping shades of chosen indigo
Got 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’ll weep or, change the chosen into gold.
Got lemon juice up in your high 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 mighty fingers at me?
You must, have been, out your, mind!

Reefer chased off indigo
Trapped without a reason
Reefer chased off indigo

Liar, lawyer,
Mirror for ya,
What’s the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned
He’s guilty as the government

NOW!!
Will you weep or, change the chosen into gold
Got 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 muddy waters
Your’re balls deep in muddy waters.
Ganja Police, you must, have been, out your MIND!!!!
