| Tool – The Eggs of Satan Lyrics | 19 years ago |

This song actually does have meaning, but it has nothing to do with worshiping Father Satan, or being a Nazi. In fact it is mocking Adolf Hitler, but also proving a very important fact. Before the Hitler was elected (yes he was voted into office) the Nazi's would host big political rallies. People then were poor, because the country was devastated from World War One, and most of the country was unemployed and very poor. The Nazi's would go up to a group of people standing outside or something, and they would do something like this. Nazi: "Hey, would you like to make some money?" Person: "Sure!" Nazi: "Alright, we want you to wear this uniform, and pass out these fliers. Do that and we'll pay you. Oh, and we're having this big political rally Friday why don't you come down. We'll have food and a live band, oh and we're having a speaker as well." Person: "Alright, can I bring my wife?" Nazi: "Sure, bring your wife, kids. We'll feed them all, and you can listen to music, and our speaker, and we might give you some clothes too. And why not tell all your friends about it as well." Person: "Alright thanks!" And then they would be on there way. The Nazi's would have lots of food, and they'd sometimes give out clothes and they'd have a big band. They would also have people in the audience that were paid to cheer out at certain times in the speaker's speech. You'd get so caught up in the atmosphere of the event that you really wouldn't listen to what the speaker was talking about, but along with it because it sounded cool, and other people were getting into it. The point of this song is to demonstrate that. If you don't speak German this song sounds really cool, and meaningful. But if you speak German, or translate it to English (Or what ever language you speak) it's really just a recipe. It demonstrates that people will go along with anything if it's dressed up enough, and the right way. |
