Tool - Right In Two Lyrics






Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it.
Right in two.

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
And this is what they choose...

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one
They're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs.
They make a club.
And beat their brother, down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of its fleeting time here.

Gotta divide it all right in two [4x]

Fight 'til they die over wind, over sky
They fight over life, over prayer, over air and light
Over love, over sun, over another
They fight though they die over words polarizing.

Angels on the sideline again.
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.

Gotta divide it all right in two [3x]
Right in two!

Right in two.

Tool Right In Two Comments
  1. S.... C....

    I'm very sure that before the universe was created, before physics and all that became a thing, tool was just on a 24 hour loop forever, and tool was never actually created, because they always were. And thats why tool is just so perfect and clean, but at the same time its all over the place and chaos. Also I cant imagine an actual human singing this song this well or playing any of the instruments like this, so im doomed to believe that this is some premordial music or something. Or maybe I'm just to baked.

  2. R.... ....

    This song is so deep and so well written its perfect for what is going on in this world!

  3. S.... G....

    This song sends my babyboy to sleep😍

  4. G.... ....

    As a guitarist, the drop at 5:24 is very impressive how Adam plays it. He's like aggressively hitting the first string with such force that it has a "BWAAMN" sound it, and it qualifies the bass so damn well.


    The sound mixing on these albums, you can tell they're done with a lot of time and talent

  5. P.... F....

    Know this song from a Resident Evil porn

  6. J.... H....

    B.... D....

    In my opinion they're all masterpieces coming from this band

  17. N.... S....

    so addicted to this song, one of Tool's best

    Tool has done more for faith than 2,000 years of Christianity.

  19. J.... S....

    [Verse 1]
    Angels on the sideline
    Puzzled and amused
    Why did Father give these humans free will?
    Now they're all confused

    [Chorus 1]
    Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
    Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
    Where there's one you're bound to divide it
    Right in two

    [Verse 2]
    Angels on the sideline
    Baffled and confused
    Father blessed them all with reason
    And this is what they choose?
    (This is what they choose)

    [Chorus 2]
    Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
    Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they forge a blade
    And where there's one they're bound to divide it
    Right in two
    Right in two

    [Chorus 3]
    Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
    Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they make a club and beat their brother down
    How they've survived so misguided is a mystery
    Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
    To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here

    [Bridge 1]
    Cut and divide it all right in two
    Cut and divide it all right in two
    Cut and divide it all right in two
    Cut and divide it all right in two

    [Interlude]

    [Bridge 2]
    Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky and
    Fight over life, over blood, over air and light
    Over love, over sun, over another
    Fight for the time, for the one, for the rise and

    [Verse 3]
    Angels on the sideline again
    Benched along with patience and reason
    Angels on the sideline again
    Wondering where this tug of war will end

    Cut and divide it all right in two
    Cut and divide it all right in two
    Cut and divide it all right in two
    Right in two
    Right in two

  20. L.... S....

    This music video by Tool will tell you how fucked up our planet is and how there is never going to be any hope for it, because all men have fucking devils in their heart!!!!

  21. C.... Z....

    There are songs and quotes that make you feel inspired and motivated to a certain degree or purpose- then there is this specific song that should and could change the very perception of the world. Thank you for all the fans of TOOL and for those of you who understand. You make this world a better place.

  22. l.... ....

    The truth that no one wants us to know is that THERE IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE if everyone would agree to live within their means. But when you have less than one percent of people owning all the wealth of the world and the rest are slaving away fighting for crumbs only to be taxed at a higher rate on those crumbs, that’s when you breed resentment, division and a systemized cycle of exploitation. And to distract us,the majority, from this exploitation we are fed consumerist and political lies to keep us insecure, afraid, obedient, and divided. Merry Christmas!

    l.... ....

    Well said.....

    l.... ....

    Right on!

    l.... ....

    agree highly poor fools we are eating scraps from the tables of the ritch taking what ever opiat that they hand us willingly sad realy

  23. a.... ....

    Going through some bad stuff, needed Tool to center me

    a.... ....

    try meditating :) and be aware of any signs

  24. C.... B....

    My favorite Tool song ALL OF THEM. father blessed us all with tool, no one should be confused

  25. o.... T....

    "twisted have the week become in strength."
    ,daniel'

  26. o.... T....

    "not one mean bone."
    ,Daniel Lee'

  27. o.... T....

    "who says monkeys are not wise?"
    dumb does. "

  28. W.... B....

    a song for a real weeaboo

  29. s.... b....

    Did he pull the trigger did he not never forgotten Kurt cobin

  30. s.... b....

    What do they all know :(

  31. J.... J....

    NOVA "The Violence Paradox" is worth a watch, exactly what this song is talking about. Puts alot in perspective.

  32. R.... B....

    Make every monent a miracle of understanding. I love you all.

  33. N.... K....

    I'm baffled and confused this doesn't have more likes.

  34. S.... M....

    Had a silly dream. Imagined the key to eternal life or the cure to all illness or evolutionary growth was found somewhere out in space on an expedition. Woke up on a 6,378km wide rock. The same one as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and... That repugnant line is stronger than any philosophical study imo. Have a good day.

  35. G.... M....

    🎵🎵

  36. W.... ....

    When people ask me if I believe in God I tell them 'it's complicated, listen to tool and you'll get it.'

    W.... ....

    I'm a tool fan and I believe their is a God.

  37. F.... B....

    The most important tool song

  38. A.... A....

    Right in TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  39. B.... S....

    3 songs that follow each other in perfect logic.....


    1. TOOL - Right in two
    2. Suicidal Tendencies - Send me your Money
    3. TOOL - Aenema

  40. S.... F....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎧

  41. M.... O....

    I love how this song is also split right in two, with the song ramping up in intensity right in the middle.

  42. N.... O....

    Father blessed them with free will
    And this is what they choose???

  43. N.... O....

    Angels on the sideline
    Baffled and confused

    N.... O....

    Father blessed them all with reason!

    N.... O....

    and this is what they choose

  44. N.... O....

    10000 days

  45. P.... p....

    Everything in this song is precisely put together to make something perfect

  46. O.... ....

    This song reminds me so much of the situation in the Middle East. Especially the Israeli Occupation of Palestine. Religion is a terribly divisive affliction.

  47. J.... D....

    Smokes blunt..tool song comes on..so much for zoning out..🤙😎

  48. J.... D....

    I wanna just get blazed and not think at all..tool song comes on...fuck!

  49. 1.... ....

    Their "Us and Them".

    1.... ....

    Us and them is one of pink floyd's favorite songs as well as right in two as well, losing to pigs and Ænima respectively

  50. T.... G....

    Who are the people give 252 👎. Really I don't get it

  51. T.... S....

    I know and I am one of those old TOOL fans that didn't get this song when it came out. I was stuck in a proverbial shit of being a teenager. But as I grew this song never left my periphery. So yes after these many years I think this song hold it's ground. Hey! Monalisa wasn't popular for a lot, a lot! of years after it was made. Some things take time to simmer down

  52. T.... B....

    TooL - Undoubtedly one of the greatest ever bands. Their music has a lot of meaning and its always food for the brains.

  53. E.... B....

    It's not anti war. It's anti humanity and our choices. Sort of anti evolution as well. The beauty of this song is he's calling us all out. The right and the left. By referring to Eden (The Christian right) and by deeming us monkeys with thumbs (the left). Reason and choice should teach us to live in the middle.

    E.... B....

    Elizabeth Bannister this song is whatever people want it to be

  54. A.... O....

    Love this song its on repeat !

  55. J.... A....

    The whole of civilisation summed up in one song

  56. R.... C....

    We should create we the people tube! And keep the government out! Soon we will be like the terminator movies! Wake up and smell the coffee people!

  57. C.... B....

    Now they’re all confused

  58. D.... G....

    F@$kin Tool Rocks harder than any other!!!!!!€€€££££££@@@

  59. P.... R....

    Obviously the most catchy guitar-riift ever.

  60. A.... E....

    I wish I had even half as much talent as Danny. The man is a god among men, and his drumming is absolutely legendary

  61. m.... q....

    I will always come back to this song, it centers the earth when it is off axis

  62. m.... ....

    Just a great fucking song. Tell me otherwise....

  63. c.... c....

    I fucking love TOOL but there is to much track wasting on this album. Some of the best songs on this album though. Maynard needs to say I'm done if he is not feeling the Tool feelings and emotions anymore. The new album is questionable aswell...

  64. P.... T....

    I'm just discover that band this year... I miss my entire life!

  65. A.... ....

    Well i been trying to find this song on YouTube couldn't find ot till now

  66. R.... P....

    I don't always cut and divide, but when I do, I do it in two

  67. 6.... ....

    pretentious as fuck

  68. B.... D....

    My take
    * its not about military and war
    *its humans with no conscience wanting to spread hate destroy innocent peoples lives for their own greedy agendas

  69. J.... H....

    Just a clear vision of our society s faults.

  70. J.... H....

    I just love how maynard says monkey (rather fondly).

  71. K.... H....

    The intro guitar reminds me of another song very similar notes I just can't think of what it is. Can anyone help me figure it out?

  72. B.... R....

    Why anybody talks about the tasty and epic drum solo?!

  73. C.... W....

    Humans are so stupid.

    C.... W....

    I agree! Especially now more than ever.

  74. J.... P....

    Wish we could all just LOVE!!!!!!

  75. T.... T....

    BASS LORD CHANCELLOR

  76. C.... K....

    Now I just think it's about the government and the DEMOCRATS!

  77. g.... ....

    Cut it all right in two!

  78. P.... T....

    Think I played this album 100 times in the past 5 days. Is that too much?

    P.... T....

    Paul Turzio no

    P.... T....

    @Laura Here I come Nashville!

  79. D.... D....

    Swear there is a note missing in the beginning.....maybe i'm just going crazy

  80. J.... K....

    5:24 may be the tastiest groove Tool ever came up with...

    J.... K....

    That guitar screech was made by the gods

  81. K.... A....

    Sounds awesome!

  82. K.... A....

    Very harmonic

  83. Y.... Z....

    Fuck it. This is the very best of tool.

  84. D.... C....

    It's some or the other way connected to India ..... Tabla

    D.... C....

    No this sound you are hearing,this is played everywhere round the world.i think the origin is from China .Their Song reflection has a nice Indian touch to it

  85. P.... M....

    This song is flawless!!! STUNNING !!!

  86. M.... ....

    Yes, it is a masterpiece. Only song that reminds us what we really are and how incredibly sad it is. I truly believe that if we all realized this and banned together we can beat it and prove em wrong. John Lennon was on to something..which is why they killed him. If we all realize that were the same and stop hating each other for stupid made up reasons we would realize there's more of us than "them" and if we could for once combine a group effort there would be no stopping us...sheer numbers alone. We could wipe all the ones that control out and start over the way it should be...just imagine.

  87. S.... S....

    I'm going to the Tool concert on 24th Nov in North Carolina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    S.... S....

    It was amazing!

    S.... S....

    Raleigh was off the chain, cold but killer.

  88. �.... ....

    Люди никогда не дорастут до коммунизма. Это слишком сложно, непонятно и странно. Да ещё и демонизировано... Поэтому до конца времён будем брать в руки дубинки и молотить друг друга, борясь за внимание родителей, учителей, противоположного пола, начальства. Кровавить друг другу носы на распродажах... Во имя нефти и газа (а вскоре и пресной воды) стирать с лица Земли целые государства... Биться за власть над умами...

  89. k.... k....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E1DkgUNfBc

    k.... k....

    nice cover of this song

  90. G.... B....

    Do a song with Cattle Decapitation

  91. D.... W....

    The Prophecy

  92. K.... F....

    Now that I think about it, Primo Levi (Jewish by birth and atheist by choice, Auschwitz survivor, chemist and novelist) wrote an amazing sci-fi short story about angels discussing how Man should be. Can't remember and/or find title at the moment. Sad that he is almost unknown to English speakers.

  93. B.... ....

    Shove it up your a$$ Ricardo Entertainment, you won't get this one!

  94. M.... S....

    Fired up into the sun

  95. R.... G....

    With all this crazy shit going on this song seems like nostradamus shit!

  96. X.... K....

    Us 200,000 years
    10,000 years of fighting over pointless ground
    Doomsday of the co2 we made
    1000 years countdown to devastation
    Mars last resort we made
