Background

According to Adam Jones, it's about hypocrisy and references both drug intoxication and believing oneself to be above others, deriving from the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black". According to The Rock Radio, a music video was filmed during the holiday season in 2006; however, it never surfaced.
