Right in Two Lyrics

Performed by Tool
Review The Song (76)

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 old 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 when 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 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

Gotta divide it all right in two (x4)

They fight, till they die
Over earth, over sky
They fight, over life,
Over brawn, over air and light,
Over love, over sun. Over blood
They fight, or they die, all for what? For our rising!

Angels on the sideline again
Been too long with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end

Gotta divide it all right in two (x3)
Right in two

Right in two...

Prove the point. | Reviewer: liverwurst | 5/14/12

Good job, everybody.

Point proven.

Tool wrote a fabulous song about how people/primates/monkeys are givin an idea, and they got to force everyone else to conform to that idea -- their verson of the idea. Kill the monkey if it doesn't accept 'my' version of the 'truth.' Truth is, we are all monkeys, Christians and non-Christians are all monkeys equally. It has nothing to do with belief, but separation because of belief--ie. 'right in two.'

to truth/Psychonaut | Reviewer: t swizzle | 4/30/12

yo dude he is not talking about evolution. monkeys is a metaphor. he is saying human r like animals. all the destruction and war and stuff. far from talk of evolution from monkeys.
Psychonaut: i like your thought on the song.

really? christian? | Reviewer: truth | 2/22/12

anything that puts the words monkey in context with humans is fundamentally NON christian, seeing as to how MOST CHRISTIANS DONT BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION, i suggest u retarded ass monkies go back to sleep on ur little clouds of capitalism. or learn to fuckin swim ffs.

The true meaning of the song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/1/12

Maynard is spiritual, but not christian all you fundamentalist idiots should shut up and listen, because the song is about those who didn't get the message of the Bible. It's a message of tolerance and peace, something you guys don't get. Quit hating eachother and just be more tolerant you primates. He does not believe in your Jesus he's using him as a tool, so he can get it through your moronic heads. Quit fucking around with other people's beliefs and just fulfill your own. Your god doesn't want you killing others, he just wants peace between people no matter what their faith, skin color or nationality is. Maynard is not christian but he is spiritual, listen to Jambi where he rejects and silences the Testaments and embraces his own beliefs.

What do you think? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/10/11

Did you notice the Maynard transition to Christianity? Father, Eden, Angels. I've search for the answer who and I and where I'm going. I was bashing Christians, then I tried to learn about energy in universe (chakras), then try the buddhism and all of all made a circle to find out that Jesus is the truth and only way to Father :D I suspect that Maynard had the same trip :D

Dead brain the theist | Reviewer: Haterofdeadbrain | 12/10/11

You moron. Shut up with your ignorant innocence slaughtering Christianity. All religion does is create corruption and war. Are you blind? Look it up, the middle east right
Now, the crusades, the Spanish inquisition. The list goes on and on. Btw christianity stole pagan ideals then forced them to convert under threats of death. Fuck you and your tyrant god.

??? | Reviewer: Dead Brain | 11/15/11

I do not understand... Maynard wrote and sings that song simply because God made him so. Killing each other is a way of design. God purposely designed us to do both go0d and bad things, bec He wants to learn lessons and understand how powerful his c0mmands are, that He is supreme over all things big and small. And maynard is a tool God uses.

beauty of music | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/11/11

The thing I really love about music is that it is an art form and like other styles of art it can be interpreted in many ways. Non of you are wrong in your thoughts on this song's meaning because that's what it means to you. I see it as saying that the planet earth was a "Garden of Eden" for all life, but humans (monkeys) divided it, fought amongst each other, and killed each other for parts of something that was equally "owned" (for lack of a better term) by every living thing in the first place.

we are right + 2...Right in Two | Reviewer: Nathan | 6/22/11

One of the greatest tool songs ever written. I see it simply....46 + 2 makes humans right....right in two... the right amount of cromosomes, evolving from apes into human beings...it continues on from track aenima 46 and 2. let me know who agrees?

Right in Two | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/23/11

One of my fav Tool songs.... wait what am I saying all of their songs are my fav! This song IMHO is about Angels/spiritual beings watching humans(monkeys) and all the hate and destruction we create. Even though God/superior being gave us free will and the intelligence to make the right choices. Some one in these posts asked "what" was being divided Right In Two. The answer is everything. Although in the song Tool uses EDEN as in Garden Of Eden to describe it. In other words we the stupid monkeys should stop fighting and just appreciate the beauty of life, earth, love, and fellow men/women.

please remove my comments from this page | Reviewer: Niels Magendans | 5/9/11

I don't want them under my own full name.
My own stupid fault. But now I'm looking at an opportunity to get in to contact with someone (web administrator or something) who can solve this for me. I have been extremely stupid. But I want these comments gone.. I have had a very confused time in my life. And have posted these stupid things... But I want these comments gone. I thought my email would be necessary for authentication. But it's not. And there's no way to remove your own comments after you've submitted them. That's pretty sick. That's a service that is just lacking and easily employable..

The most important comments I want to have removed are those on the song Pushit, also from Tool. Just google my name and you'll see 2 results.

Well.... | Reviewer: Malte | 4/23/11

After hours of musing I finally made my conclusion about this song. You think too complicated:

Succinctly said, it's about monkeys...(I guess Maynard has a serious problem. I mean monkeys have their right to exist, haven't they?)

Overanalyzing Music | Reviewer: Psychonaut | 2/25/11

Its just music guys. i love tool and all their songs but theres no need to over annalyze something as pure as music. If anything i believe this song is about the destruction of the planet not minding are other brothers (AKA other species of life) we see humans as the only intelligent exsistance but we arent intelligent enough not to hurt one another based on color or religion. Its painstaking to even watch the news because here we are almost 7 Billion strong and the sitaution for food is getting staggerly scarce. One day there will be nothing more than a planet with a once prominent circle of life and real intelligent life forms will be digging us up!

cut reality in two | Reviewer: paltool11 | 2/21/11

maynard and his metaphors. monkey killing, us being the monkeys or primates or having evolved from,eventually having the thumb, which we could now create tools, like a club that we can now grip and beat our brothers down with. the rest of the song is self explanatory. we all get it,humans and greed and hatred. the angels sitting in awe over our stupidity. and then theres maynard wanting to cut reality in two. lets cut the bullshit.
the buddha said “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” in other words have common sense. dont believe anything unless you see it or hear it for yourself. also as humans we all know that when you are looking for common sense in people, sense is not common. peace to everyone. i liked all the comments an feel we are all right, this song is my favorite.
