Tool – Right In Two lyrics

Tool – Right In Two lyrics

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.
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 lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

Cut it all right in two [x4]

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer,
Overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun,
Over another, Fight...

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

Cut it all right in two [x3]
Right in two!

Right in two...

Love Love this tune. Meaning seems pretty obvious. The difference between man and the angels is that God gve Man free will. The angers are servants. So here are the angels on the sidelines watching man f**k everything up in his own ignorance, They are shaking their heads in disbelieve at how illogical mankind is.

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here. One of the best lines I have ever heard in a song. Very clever song.

Everyone seems to think the interpretation is obvious, as in some cases the lyrics are fairly clear. But Maynard knows a bit about the Bible, you can research on your own why, but the name of the song is overlooked in all of these interpretations. Is anyone familiar with the covenant between Abram (soon to be renamed Abraham) and God? The covenant was a ceremony of the times where Abram took the animals God instructed him to collect, and he cut them in half to signify that if the covenant was broken by one of the parties, what has happened to those animals shall happen to them. Only God walked through the alter of animals cut in half signifying He/it would die for us if the covenant was broken, even if it was Abram that broke it. This foreshadows the sacrifice of Jesus. Most of the interpretations here are probably close, but they ignore the “Right in two”. I believe Maynard is actually using that phrase as a reminder of the broken covenant, forgotten by Man as we bank on God upholding his part only.
