Family Values

This track was up for a remix by Ice Cube's producer at the time but the record label went bankrupt right before our European tour with Tool was scheduled. On the bright side, Mike Dean of Geto Boys fame played keyboards on it.
Lyrics
Intro: Wack! I gave him a shot, smack with the palm of my hand
Wack! I gave him a second wack on the opposite buttock
Wack! Wack! I'll teach you to keep your eyes where they belong bitch
Wack! Wack! Wack! I'll definitely teach you to stay where you belong!
Let me lay it out level, I'm not the devil, push comes to shove I’m a shovel
No trouble and just keep quiet, I got a new experience for you tonight
Hands tied, tied tight, fear in your eyes because something doesn’t feel right
Danger, danger, nothing could be stranger it’s not a drive by and it’s not a gang banger
It’s a nightmare or a dream make it what you want because nothings what it seems
Let me take you to the shed where its dark nothing can be heard but the beating of your heart
It’s my turn to play God baby! It’s my turn to play God
It’s my turn to play God baby! It’s my turn to play God
Nameless faceless leaving no traces. You might like it better if you take this
Take this, take that, welcome to my trap a new shade of black in the shadow's where I lurk
Holding back the pain makes it hurt
Holding back the hurt won't work
prove it to me that you do care, is it just another face that you wear?
It’s my turn to play God baby! It’s my turn to play God
It’s my turn to play God baby! It’s my turn to play God
The deepest secrets the blackest hearts turning you around and making you bark
I'm in charge and there’s nobody else so keep it restrained keep your hands to yourself
Slowly and surely I'm going to make you tell exactly what it is that brings you to hell
More and more, you scream 'no more' but on the way to hell you took the detour
To explore things you never felt before and there you find the darkest corners of your mind
It’s my turn to play God
It’s my turn to play God
It’s my turn to play God
It’s my turn to play God
It’s my turn to play God
It’s my turn to play God
