Tool Lyrics

I don't want to sound unkind
I never liked you anyway
The thought of you makes me want
to punch somebody in the face

I know that this might sound harsh
Sorry that you found out this way
But something has got to give
I hate this more and more each day

This is not cool
You think you're awesome
Well you're not
You are a tool
And I just have to get away
Get off!

There's so much damn abhorrence
That I could cut it with a knife
Or rather that could be you
You pose for what you call a life

I'd rather just not be here
I just can't stand to see your face
So please stop talking to me
I hate you more and more each day

This is not cool
You think you're awesome
Well you're not
You are a tool
And I just have to get away
Get off!

This is not cool
You think you're awesome
Well you're not
Act like a tool
And I just have to get away
Get off...get off!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have the song and it's amazing. It certainly lives up to any expectations I had. The drumming is great.

Seriously, why do people insist on the fact that every tool song must be a walking, explicaple maze of ocean-deep mysteries?

Get over it. Tool is a very diverse band and seeing the same enigmatic puzzles eccoing throughout EACH and EVERY track tool has ever made is just not going to happen, not should it.

The same thing goes for Right in Two, by the way. So its straightforward - sometimes thats a wiser choice.
