Background

According to Adam Jones, it is confirmed to be about hypocrisy and is a double entendre that refers to 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 has never been officially released and has failed to permanently resurface.
