“The Remedy” is a song about survival values and fellowship in harsh circumstances. It is written from the perspective of someone ready to help those who lack perspective to adapt to cruel realities, but unwilling to coddle anyone who refuses to accept that they need the help.
[Verse 1]
Our home, our rules
Respect them or
Bitches receive stitches
Trolls receive 86's
[Verse 2]
Stick around if you're housebroken
Can't hold your shit or your tongue
You've got to go
Should you choose to react like an imbecile
You in turn will be treated so
[Chorus 1]
Yes, we're being condescending
Yes, that means we're talkin' down to you
With all that racket from your lips a-flapping
We assumed you didn't notice
[Verse 3]
Haters, isolators
No one misses these
Bitches receive stitches
Trolls receive 86's
[Chorus 1]
Yes, we're being condescending
Yes, that means we're talkin' down to you
With all that racket from your lips a-flapping
We assumed you didn't notice
[Verse 4]
Haters, isolators
No one misses these
Bitches receive stitches
Trolls receive 86's
[Chorus 2]
You speak like someone who has never been
Smacked in the fuckin' mouth
That's okay, we have the remedy
You speak like someone who has never been
Knocked the fuck on out
But we have your remedy
[Chorus 2]
You speak like someone who has never been (And yes, we're being condescending)
Smacked in the fucking mouth (Yes, that means we're talkin' down to you)
That's okay, we have the remedy
You speak like someone who has never been (With all that racket from your lips a-flapping)
Knocked the fuck on out
But we have your remedy (We assumed you didn't notice)

Maynard James Keenan:
“The Remedy” really is a borderline-extinction-level event where we’re worrying about food, clothing and shelter rather than worrying about whether or not you should use the word ‘retard’ [laughs]. We’re so far away from the reality of what it means to survive, and buying into...
