About This Track
“Prison Sex” is a song by American progressive rock/progressive metal band Tool. It was their first single and second music video from their first full-length album, Undertow. It is the band’s lowest charting single.
With the release of the 1994 single “Prison Sex” and its music video, directed and created by Adam Jones, MuchMusic called the band into question by deeming the video too graphic and offensive, later running an episode of its Too Much 4 Much series to discuss the video. MTV stopped airing the “Prison Sex” video after a few viewings — both due to a symbolic dealing with the sensitive subject of child abuse. Maynard James Keenan, who wrote the lyrics, has been quite clear about his antipathy towards his stepfather during early interviews about the song.

The song has a much deeper meaning then the shallow thought of "Prison Sex".
