| I disagree. I don't think that he's saying capitalism is the H w/ a P, He's saying that HE's the H w/ a P. He's like "You know what buddy, (I love when he says buddy!) I might have sold myself (hooker), but I'M still the one who fucking YOU!(-he's got the cock) So fuck you." That's what it is. Most definitely. | |

| I don't think that the lyrics has any "deeper" meaning. It's just Maynard's answer to some punk ass kid who thinks he knows it all. | |

| Although I always thought this was about capitalism, I have to admit that Galactic Cactus' theory makes a lot of sense. In my English 1 class, we were going into depth on capitalism and I wrote an entire essay on this song and how it portrays capitalism... my teacher (an older hippie guy) asked if I could bring in the CD so he could hear the song and he dug it. Even though I'm not sure if I believe it's about capitalism anymore, I have to admit, I B.S.ed a really damn good essay. | |

| This is about some kid talking to Maynard about Undertow. The kid, declaring himself a true Tool fan (OGT - Original Gangsta Tool) apparently called MJK a sellout for releasing Undertow, a major label record. Maynard turns his words around into the chorus that says, "We all participate in capitalism, so by saying you don't like it, you're being hypocritical." He goes on to say that the kid knows nothing about him except for what Maynard lets him know, so he's in no position to tell him how to live. Just invest in Tool and your soul is safe. | |

| I hate you all. He's fucking talking about the nerve this kid has to come up to him and critique him when he basically had to bare his soul to write the music, and the kid bought it anyway. People hate being told what to do and especially being told what they're doing is wrong. | |
