Tool - Opiate Lyrics
Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
What you need is someone strong to guide you..
Like me, like me, like me, like me
If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me.
Now don't you judge or question.
You are broken now, but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you.
When he speaks, he speaks through me.
He has needs like I do.
We both want to rape you.
[2x]
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now
Open my eyes and blind me with your light now
If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me.
Now don't you judge or question.
You are broken now, but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
[2x]
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now.
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
Let me lay my holy hand up, hand upon you.
My God's will becomes me.
When he speaks, he speaks through me.
He has needs like I do.
We both want to rape you

Tool Opiate Comments
My favourite Tool song, second being Sober.
Old Tool is perfect rolling music 🥰
An oldie but a goodie
I love Tool and turned a lot of my friends on to them...but Gods not negative...He saved me from Stage 4 Aggressive Cancer and a Friend of mine whom I prayed for Stage 4 Aggressive Lung Cancer that was terminal! We both survived because we put our faith in God and spoke we survived it read. Mark 11:23-24! Doctors said I would never talk or sing again from Cancer and I am I am a devout man but sing secular Metal! God loves mankind and there is a lot of bad things that happen but its not him causing it...its Satan! I've had many in the Church say music is demonic...God always tells me to sing and pursue my dreams in music even Jesus said all things are possible if we believe! Mark 9:23! 8f we say we have something long enough... like I have cancer it will grow...we must say the opposite and you will survive it...when they wanted to put me in a wheel chair because I was weak....I said I survived Cancer and walked! Gods thoughts are positive! Read Jeremiah 29:11. Im cancer free now for 5 yrs!

is he talking about jesus or opiate addiction or opiate addiction is jesus to some?
6:11, WTF
Everything starts to become heavy 3:45
Love this so underrated
Blind me with your light Lord
friend took some acid...#TOOL
the best part of this song is obviously that The Doors parody :)
Dude my parents are blasting christian music so I put on headphones and now I'm listening to this. Fuck yeah.
Fuck you google, and youtube, I despise you people, I promise I will never ever buy a single thing you sell, nor will I buy anything your sponsors sell. You are a corrupt and evil organization and I count the days till your ultimate destruction.
IMO one of Tool's best songs.
I can't think for the life of me what year this was
Early 90s I think
The year of the OGT 🤘😎🥤

4:22 Drumgasm
5:10 💯
6:22 "It's okay until he pisses on your lighter" ▪️
Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
kinda cringe
5:19 best part 👌
When I first heard this song, I thought it was over
The purpose and effect of organized religion and pro sports is the same: to parasitise your intrinsic energy and distract your attention away from anything that truly matters.
I like smart people!

maybe who cares... fuck George lucas for doing that but..

I had a friend once, he took some acid
Now he thinks he's a fire engine
It's okay until he pisses on your lighter
Kinda smells kinda cool, kinda funny anyway

Satan, Satan, Satan, Satan, Satan
[Verse 2]
I had a friend once, he took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and every one in the room
He was sort of loving, kinda caring
Kinda tried to fuck my La-Z boy
It got a bit messy all over the curtains
Arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting
[Outro]
I'm getting bored, I'm getting bored

Best tool song...ever
I,m going to a TOOL concert in Western Australia
Have fun. Incredible show!!
4:08 Love That Scream
sick music for the wounded souls ;-(
Better to take refuge in Christ Jesus our Saviour. He is the Way, the Life, the Truth. Amen
oh zo what’s your daily dose?

Hey stop thinking for me ..ummm well hang on thats not bad..bleeds out from the government's sword shoved into his back.

I always have to think about jordan peterson, if I hear this.
Skip to 6:10 for the best part of this album.... I did have my lighter pissed on. And my furniture had stains I could not forgive....
this is the best Tool song ever made!
Best Tool song IMO
The lyrics of this song reminds me of the mentality of a cult leader...anyone agree? Love you Maynard!!!
Get sum
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life! He can save us, heal us and forgive us for ANYTHING! I hear you crying out for help from Him in several of your songs! We've only got one life on earth, but it's the eternal life that matters the most! Just pray and ask Jesus to show you the Truth and His love. He'll always take you back! : )
Do you know how long eternal means, infinity is not something I would want to endure, to be a slave to some being that feeds off the total disregard for the laws of quantum mechanics, how can one exist outside this version of reality and who created such a being, some hard questions that your old book can not answer unless it invokes meta-physics and magic, both that seem to not exist in this particular universe, sure that old book had alot of useful information and got us to the 20th century but it's time to let go of fairy tales.
Even if this is a simulation
Just do everything I tell you to do!
Have you guys realized that some tool songs are connected yin a way..this sounds like hush.and 7empest sound like schism at one point it’s cool how they did that
This is a song that I do like by TOOL
What about other Tool dont you like? To vast? Too psychedelic? Too weird time measures? I must know your analysis. Cause Tool is what speaks to me on a spiritual level.
I like forty six and 2 my favourite is Vicarious I like 7empest also Aenima
3:45 and now you do what they told ya!
Underrated, but then again, I'm baking too.
somebody get that bob marley wannabe motherfucker out of here!
Welcome to TooL. The Fisherman is out.
I hope someone considers the phone nazi security guard spillover effect on one's enjoyment of a Tool show.
I feel like launching a petition on change.org to change Maynard's phone policy.
i pee pee on lighter
TOOL IS LEGENDARY
It has the rythem of a gospel song and sounds convincing with "If you want to get your soul to hevean" until you hear "We both want to rape you"! That must have tricked a bunch of religious people.
repeat this song again and again...
Yes, I am listening to opiateon my girlfriend phone, and yes she is subscribed to tool, all this junkying to the left, made my proposition right wing, I am Trump protool.
i spent 3/4s of the game trying to charge my batteries, because i didn't know what batteries were, or even had a basic grasp of how batteries function. SHJIT.

Part 2
I had a friend once,
He took some acid.
Now he thinks he's
A fire engine.
It's okay until he
Pisses on your lighter.
Kinda smells kinda cool,
Kinda funny anyway.
Satan.
Satan.
Satan.
Satan.
Satan.
I had a friend once,
He took some ecstasy.
Tried to marry me
And everyone in the room.
He was sorta loving,
Kind of caring.
Kind of tried to
Fuck my lazy-boy.
He got a bit messy
All over the curtains,
Armchair covers,
Throw pillows,
And carpeting
Danny Carey is amazing. His tempo discipline and his pedal control are amazing.
Anybody else that thinks the last part looks similar to ''The End'' by the Doors?
Waiting.......
6:10 is the best shit i have ever heard in the history of ever. 🤣🤣

This is the beginning of the Rollercoaster
It really is all fun and games until someone pisses on your lighter
Kind of smells
Kind of cool
Kind of funny, anyway
This is the first of many long weird tool songs. I love it!
Wonder if Maynard was mainly dabbing on the Whore of Babylon and the great beast rather than Christianity as a whole.

Сука, ни одного русского коммента нет.
Now on Spotify!!!!!
Gotta say....they've come a long way...but also sound the same.
Haven't we all?
Opiate is Tools greatest creation. I remember my brother giving me this album when I was around 10-11 and I was just mesmerized. The whole album is just a complete masterpiece and Maynards vocals are just something else. It may not sound that hard to sing but it freakon is! Perfection!
Kinda hard to believe it's their debut album, too!
I wonder who pissed on maynards lighter? Alex?
Full Power!🔥🤟
The first Tool song I ever heard just before Undertow came out. Crazy I still remember where I was when I heard it, an all night club called The Paradox
I guess I'm not deaf and blind and dumb to follow tool.fuckin society
glendale, az sold out in under an hour
45 priests disliked this song...
always loved the phone accidentally ringing,
Was that always there ??
@Exiled Entity Yes. I can't count the number of times I took off my headphones to check if the phone was actually ringing in my parents' basement.
Fun fact: they did a similar trick in Sober, hiding the sound of knocks on a wall and a guy going "Hey!" right in the peak towards the end.
No lyrics, best song on the album
first tool song I listened to when I was 21, that shit changed me lol long live the greatest band on earth
I miss the fat lady dancing
6:52 *_SATAN_*
Priest's looking dapper as always... This is damn good quality!
If you blur your vision the flames on the artwork look like a face.
Overthinking- over analyzing... .
Yeah... no.
@Lia Nocelli levi show off
It looks like a wolf when i do this.
Looks kinda like Akuh from samurai jack lol
Maynard, Lay your holy hand upon me.
This first time I listened to this song I thought my body was going to explode. I felt a fire within me that I didn't know existed. Thank you.
holy shit I miss this song!
Def and blind and dumb and born to follow.
This perfectly describes most people.
@Ian Simpson Yeah, alright.
Go on Justin Biebers songs telling people they're stupid cuz they like his music cuz you're OBVIOUSLY so much smarter than every fan, listener or consumer of any kind of media. Bye 👋
@Johnshroom There is a difference between someone who listens to music and a fan. A Justin Bieber fan is likely to try and break into his dressing room to meet him whereas a listener would probably not even pay the ridiculous amount they charge for tickets to his concert. You are the one being pretentious here you snobby fuck.
@Ian Simpson Right, but you're still not like "most people", or did I interpret that wrong and you ARE like "most people" deaf, blind and dumb?
@Johnshroom Just gotta have something to bitch about, huh? Are you complaining about my quoting of the song? Did you bitch away Maynard for putting the lyrics in his song? Are you whining because it hits a little too close to home for you? Here's a little hint, if you cannot notice the sheep around you you're probably one of the flock.
@Ian Simpson, you are an amazing person! Also, I feel like I need some confirmation, because i haven't listened to ALL of their music, and still haven't been able to decipher and interpret the song as a whole; I cannot tell if he is disagreeing or kind of "making fun" of the normal way of respecting and following a religion, or if he is explaining how we all need some form of guidance in our lives.(I personally find the second interpretation to be the more plausible one, due to the fact Maynard isn't known to be discriminatory of people. Or at least, I know this only from the information i've gathered.)
Edit: Changed my opinion slightly, still a blur in which way to interpret this song. Or hell, everybody's got their interpretation of this song, there really isn't a definite way to interpret this song. I would really like to hear your thoughts on this song!
Just in case yall missed it on the new artwork, those big silver bulb things on the priest's head is his eyes, not his brows. It looks as if it has eyes beneath them. Look closer👀
With tool, everything has eyes
This re-issued art is mad! (Unless this an artwork that's been used for years, and I've been accidentally evading it.)
Mystical W0mbat it’s newer art. The original one was an alien looking dude
@FireboltAz the original is the exact same guy as this picture.....
I remember taping this off of radio station by me in NJ 89.5 WSOU. I would always miss the first few seconds and would be pissed! But it was enough for me. I would rewind and listen over and over. If it happened to come on again, I would grab any tape and record over whatever was on there prior. I think this is the song that made me a fan...following Opiate. The rest is history. Miss those days...but they just keep getting better. Every album transports me back to where I was in that stage in my life. This was definitely my pre-teen angst stage...ha ha. Love it!!!!!!!
I meant to say this song made me a fan following Part of Me. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
