Finally somebody uploaded a video lyrics. This song hit harder nowadays, the lack of empathy and how people watch tragedies from their phones. Also people that records them for clout.

[pitoarmand]

"A masterpiece among masterpieces". There are just NO words that can do ANY justice to this gem. In my humble opinion, this is the very best from Tool, by default the very best from music in history, period.

Staring like a zombie while listening and enjoying the lyrics.
Irony

We all are watching the world die vicariously

I live in Mexico city and I went to their concert yesterday March 15th and I have not words...
If you read the papers about the violence and missing people here you will figure it out why they closed the concert with this song. Sincerely I think this was a message to all the people here and thriving to an awareness to all we're informed about this shit happening in this beautiful country. Peace and what a Masterpiece.

[mvg]

tool's lyrics is very good and powerful. Great band!

[ivrogggg]

with all the social media and peoples who “concern” about the wars, this is the right song

[YogsenForfoth]

Some of the greatest song lyrics ever written.

[JoshDisher]

"Credulous at best, your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I"

Man this song was meant to be a sign of the times. It ended up being prophetic instead. You all feel the same, so why can't we just admit it?

[Only_Truly_Nice_Hooman]

3:38 the start of the drums my personal fav part. But the song as a whole is the Best part

[mrmeseeks]

I remember when this album came out new and i order d from the USA.... Out of the crazy CD cover into the players.... BOOM! That fucken intro!! Still one of their hardest hitting riffs/tunes to this day. I love it when i randomly hear this song years later still. But today... Well today i understood for the first time what Maynard and his wizards are singing to us in... A new way... A new light... Down with hate! Rise with love ❤

This explains perfectly how fucked up society actually is !!!! It’s not all sunny and rainbows! That’s what life taught me is that is the life and society isn’t always happy

[philliplehl]

Duuuude this was absolutely badass. Great job

[ROCKforeverFPS]

WHAT A PIECE OF A SONG!!! COLD TRUTH
I just saw a video of a man who died stabbed because he was with his wife and daughter eating ice cream and another guy was smoking vape. so the sir asked him if he could stop vaping and thats why he got stabbed on the neck... then while hes bleeding to death and his wife and daughter are there crying, another scumbag just start recording it and says on high volume "this motherfucker just died, you can even hear the screaming noises full of pain of his family behind him and he just doesnt care. this song... 100% facts with this rotten society.

[LordDos]

I enjoy your work. Could you please make one for Tool Undertow? I can't find one anywhere. I don't know how to do any of that. Keep up the good work. Thanks

So relevant to today's (2025) events and political administration!
