Wake up, son of mine
Momma got something to tell you
Changes come
Life will have its way
With your pride, son
Take it like a man

Hang on, son of mine
A storm is blowing up your horizon

Changes come
Keep your dignity
Take the high road
Take it like a man

Listen up, son of mine
Momma got something to tell you
All about growing pains
Life will pound away
Where the light don't shine, son
Take it like a man

Suck it up, son of mine
Thunder blowing up your horizon

Changes come (Changes come)
Keep your dignity (Keep your dignity)
Take the high road (Take the high road)
Take it like a man (Take it like a man)

Momma said like the rain (This, too, shall pass)
Like a kidney stone (This, too, shall pass)
It's just a broken heart, son
This pain will pass away

I disagree. As a former sailor I can do potty mouth and images IRT cover art..  Because I choose not to separates me from the dross of society.  I love The Big Lebowski movie as it points out a whole segment of society that use gutter language as the norm. Refined people can't understand it. Americans are free to succeed or fail. Language defines a people.

Maynard James Keenan in a nutshell
 
Wish we were all a bit more "adolescent".
Tool - Forty Six & Two Lyrics:

My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking scabs again
I'm down, digging through
My old muscles, looking for a clue

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in
I wanna feel the changes coming down
I wanna know what I've been hiding

In my shadow
My shadow
Change is coming through
My shadow
My shadow
Shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again

I reckon Maynard James Keenan will be talked about in the future far more than he is today.

In fifty years no one will ever say the words Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus or [insert name of 99+% current musical "talents"], but this dude will be discussed...

Let's debate!

I just went 6→8 on this track.  Not sure if the band name/album name combo and lyrical content helped w/ the +2 or not....although I'm diggin' the grove on this one, the cool deep vocals and incessant bass line.  Long Live RP!!

Not that I think it'll be played here, but their piece call "the Mission" is I think one of their best, and their lyrics typically are far more in depth.

Arguably, "retarded sexuality and bad poetry" are the foundations of most rock and roll.  Maynard James Keenan, whom you apparently know nothing about, has been recording and performing "inventive" music for over twenty years.  However, the nautical metaphor was quite enjoyable.

Can't decide if I like it or not.  Kind of feels to me like the vocals and musical style come from 2 different songs.
