If you apply the lyrics to that situation, they fit as well as marijuana prohibition. When they chanted, he reportedly said something like "You all are going to really be bummed out when you find out we did this to ourselves." At a concert, which had been scheduled the day of 9/11 and rescheduled a few days after, the crowd was chanting "USA, USA!" when he said a few words about the victims. Keenan has reportedly spoken publicly that he thinks the U.S. He's not the type to get on his "soap box" to ram something down people's throats, and wants people to think for themselves instead. In any interview I've heard with him, he seems to play his cards pretty close in revealing meanings of his songs. Specifically, Keenan did mention marijuana prohibition as inspiring the lyrics, but he did say it's about hypocrisy in general but could apply to many things. That's self-evident to anyone who's heard the saying "that's the pot calling the kettle black," if you add that with a few other references in the song. I see this as a general middle finger to hypocritical demagogues, who do wrong to others for their own gain by hiding behind their perceived authority. General CommentI really don't think Keenan intended for this to be about any one, specific issue. Don't judge others with you yourself aren't exactly a saint. I know I'm INSANELY late to this party and that you'll probably never even see this, but I still wanted to throw my two cents in. You're the very thing the song was talking about. Just because you are not a drug user (supposedly) doesn't mean you're an upstanding citizen that only upholds the law, never lies and doesn't have anything to hide. Your ignorance to believe that stereotype without actually knowing or being apart of a community of drug users is really prominent in the comment you posted. It is known that druggies will lie to get drugs, which is a stereotype, meaning it's not the same in every case.
The point of the song, which stated, is just that. "All druggies are liars and can't be trusted" is thrown around all too much, yet we have lawyers that are paid to lie and protect people that are accused of a crime and still we consider them trustworthy just because they supposedly "uphold" the law. You must have been out your People who drugs, such as the admission that said, are often associated with that stereotype. You must have been high, high, high, high Who are you to wave your fat fingers at me? Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent Now you're weeping shades of cozen indigo Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent
