Have you heard it?
It's #69 on Undertow.
I just found it a few day's ago.
The lyrics:
"And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus. Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on........
This is necessary.
It was daylight when you woke up in your ditch. You looked up at your sky then. That made blue be your color. You had your knife there with you too. When you stood up there was goo all over your clothes. Your hands were sticky. You wiped them on your grass, so now your color was green. Oh Lord, why did everything always have to keep changing like this. You were already getting nervous again. Your head hurt and it rang when you stood up. Your head was almost empty. It always hurt you when you woke up like this. You crawled up out of your ditch onto your gravel road and began to walk, waiting for the rest of your mind to come back to you. You can see the car parked far down the road and you walked toward it. "If God is our Father," you thought, "then Satan must be our cousin." Why didn't anyone else understand these important things? You got to your car and tried all the doors. They were locked. It was a red car and it was new. There was an expensive leather camera case laying on the seat. Out across your field , you could see two tiny people walking by your woods. You began to walk towards them. Now red was your color and, of course, those little people out there were yours too. "
It's really wierd. If you don't have the album Undertow, I encourage you to download it.

Disgustipated is pretty funny, but I love the point it tells. "Life feeds on life" is so true on so many levels.
And the end part with the answering machine is so odd, but really gets me thinking.
"If God is our Father," you thought, "then Satan must be our cousin." Why didn't anyone else understand these important things? It really makes sense.
Creepy for a landlord to leave on an answering machine though. Alittle too weird.

(the satan thing) ...O_o did Maynard's landlord seriously leave that message on an answering machine?? That is creepy >_>;; I have a landlord, and I think I would cry if he did that O_O Anyways, Disgustipated is one of my favorite odd tracks to listen to besides counting bodies like sheep ((isnt TOOL but still is an odd one)) whee The gunshots while he is going on about "this is necesarry!!" is just too cool heart

I never thought I'd enjoy the sounds of screaming carrots so much. They sound too cute.

That "hidden" bit is my favorite part of the album. Did his landlord really leave that on his answering machine?
If my landlord left me a message, I'd be moving in a hurry eek

I have no idea who that guy is...as far as i understand it, Message To Harry Manback I and II are the only two songs with a supposed Landlord on them...hes also portuguese.
but as to the identity of the man at the very end of Disgustipated...who knows...
I will say though that it IS my favorite b-side from them...the "life feeds on life" part gets me SOO ******** pumped up haha...
i would ******** LOVE maynard to walk out on stage at like the end of their show with a shot gun loaded with blanks and and have them do that song with him shooting up into the air...can you ******** imagine how INSANE that would be.
