Annihilation Lyrics
For the benefit of the nation or its destruction
Power is power, the law of the land
And those living for death will die by their own hand
Reject the system dictating the norms
To hasten the nation to its destruction
Power is power, the law of the land
Those living for death will die by their own hand
Reject the system dictating the norms
Peace
Or annihilation...

This song is about how the world give it's peoples weapons (Guns) and calling it a "benefit for the nation" when In reality people use these weapons for destruction, and suicide (will die by their own hand) and we the people have a choice or either using these weapons for peace or for annihilation.

Extremely political, and if you're not into politics or don't necessarily have strong anti-war views, I'm not sure this is going to be the album for you. It's peace or total destruction; I agree. Just like when he was collaborating with RATM, he wants to Take the Power Back, Know Your Enemy style.

AAAAAAAHHHH! Bush won again. On the bright side I think it will help maynard concentrate on insulting the american public in the next tool album

Amazing for the non-queer, you mean. Anyhow, the way this whole track is being presented is great, the whispering adds much to it. My friend, and g/f think it's somewhat creepy.

is every song they amke about politics?

who is this song by originally

rhcprox, not every song, but every song on their new CD eMOTIVe

Heh, I voted for Bush but still like the album. I have a brother over in Iraq. My brother and I dont think its right to switch presidents in a war. Especially switching power back over to democrates...but still APC and radiohead and my two favorite bands, and both are VERY anti-Bush...I listen to them from a musical stand point, not a politcal one.

well hell, i love this cd, but ima republican, but i can understand more than one point of view. im not gonna jump ur shit over politics, because politics is ignorant in a way, but i love APC and tool, and this song kicks ass

audacity what major war have we fought without changing presidents? And what does your brother do? If he lives at BIAP I don't even wanna hear it.
