Hooker With A Penis

Tool · Aenima [1996]

I met a boy wearing Vans, 501's, and a

Dope Beastie tee, nipple rings, new tattoos that claimed that he

Was OGT,

After '92,

From The first EP.



And in between

Sips of Coke

He told me that

He thought

We were sellin' out,

Layin' down,

Suckin' up

To the man.



Well now I've got some

A-dvice for you, little buddy.

Before you point the finger

You should know that

I'm the man,



And if I'm the man,



Then you're the man, and

He's the man as well so you can

Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.



All you know about me is what I've sold you,

Dumb fuck.

I sold out long before you ever heard my name.



I sold my soul to make a record,

Dip shit,

And you bought one.



So I've got some

Advice for you, little buddy.

Before you point your finger

You should know that

I'm the man,



If I'm the fuckin' man

Then you're the fuckin' man as well

So you can

Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.



All you know about me is what I've sold you,

Dumb fuck.

I sold out long before you ever heard my name.



I sold my soul to make a record,

Dip shit,

And you bought one.



All you read and

Wear or see and

Hear on TV

Is a product

Begging for your

Fatass dirty

Dollar



So...Shut up and



Buy my new record

Send more money

Fuck you, buddy.

Hooker With A Penis

This track stands as a defining moment in Tool's evolution, appearing on the 1996 album Aenima. The song exemplifies the band's shift toward a heavier, more aggressive sound, blending complex time signatures with raw, distorted guitars and Mark Holcomb's intense vocal delivery. It serves as a pivotal bridge between the psychedelic textures of earlier works and the industrial metal influences that would characterize their subsequent discography. The recording captures the band's willingness to explore darker, more confrontational themes, establishing a sonic identity that remains central to their legacy. Its inclusion in the Aenima catalogue highlights the group's commitment to pushing boundaries within the progressive metal genre during the mid-1990s.
