Note: I am NOT the transcriber of these songs, I am just reposting it as 
someone else had requested it. The name of those who figued out these 
songs appear somewhere in this file I think.
Also in the next little while I hope to figure out a few other songs, 
like Intolerance and 4 Degrees.

Subject: TAB: Prison Sex (Tool)

I believe I remember someone requesting whatever Tool songs anyone might 
have. I looked around Nevada, and they don't even have a Tool directory.
So I took it upon myself to whip this up. I didn't have the tape with me, 
so if there are any mistakes, they're probably my on errors in playing 
the song, and there are lots of different fingerings you can use with 
this song. Oh well, at least it sounds right to *me*... I can guarantee 
the timing isn't accurate.

I also know just about everything on Undertow. I might get around to 
posting them, but I'm not to good at transcription, and Tool songs aren't 
too easy to transcribe...

No Picture Renee Wanna Be	#1 by Renee Saenz at Dec 11, 1974 at 3:50 PM EST
	Dear Babyeater. I understand this is a place where people can leave there opinions, but don't talk about stuff you don't understand, or aren't 100% sure about. You said "The "one holy medium" is probably the Bible's phrase "Do unto others what has been done to you"." If you had any idea what you're talking about, the bible says,"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Matthew 7:12. Matthew 5:39 says "Do not resist evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." I cant find any verse in the bible that says, or encourages anything along the lines of "Do unto others what has been done to you"

No Picture Dan Average	#2 by Dan Flores at Jul 12, 1978 at 9:56 PM EST
	Damn right.

No Picture Alexxx <3 Lead Player	#3 by Alexxx <3 at Oct 27, 1981 at 12:45 PM EST
	this song is definatly about abuse although it is not necessarily sexual. i agree with almighty ruler when he mentioned the religious possibilty but just because maynard wrote about abuse doesnt meen that he actually had the experience. this song is about the hopeless feeling associated with abuse. It speaks about the scar that abuse leaves and how all to often the victim does the same to another.

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#4 by Matt Miller at Oct 11, 1984 at 9:29 PM EST
	Maynard said at a concert that this song was about the first step in dealing with abuse: realization.

No Picture _Heretic_ Wanna Be	#5 by _Heretic_ at Nov 12, 1995 at 11:45 AM EST
	at the toolshed it has been stated that tool claims this is not about child abuse, but you can't listen to anything that tool says. i think the religious recruiter idea works, but it is obviously open to interperatation.

No Picture Dean Rhythm Player	#6 by Dean M at Jun 24, 1999 at 12:13 AM EST
	i dont know what otrm stands for, the only thing i've read is over the rainbow mix, haha
