Cover art for Right in Two lyrics by Tool

Ok. Im robotripping right now listening to this song and i had a breakthrough, trash me if im wrong. But when he says "silly monkeys, where theres one, your bound to divide it, right in two," hes saying if you have one good thing you should share it. But no. We don't. The humans would rather cut it in two and have 2 lesser things. Then they cut those 2 things in two. Continues.

I thought the exact same thing.. almost as if he hints at the question why are we so greedy in the sense that instead of just sharing with your brothers maybe bite for bite like you would think we naturally should we would rather use our minds and bodies to make means to divide and kill each other off at a basic level..

Exactly! And the pieces on the ground is the perfect example. Humans have an enormous planet and they fight and kill each over ridiculously small pieces of land. Humans would rather split the land and have half only for them than sharing a bigger piece with someone else. Absurd
