The beginning of the song, is structured the same... as the END of the song... on both? Whaaaat? I want to explain the difference - but maybe I'm missing something... can you show me the how it is the same at all structurally between the songs, at both the beginning and the end?
And also the "Getting the last laugh" is... well not accurate. They come to terms with the situation in completely different ways -- Tool's guy continues the rape cycle, while our boy kills his father and tries to fall asleep next to his dead body with his brother. This "last laugh, turn around" ending is not unique to Tool. It spans the full spectrum of literary mediums. So while it is "similar" to the Tool song that I've never heard, it's also "similar" to most Shakespearean tragedies, Batman comics and Days of Our Lives. Again the only strong similarity is the male rape... and maybe the stained youth. Tool's song reminds me of the movie, Sleepers. Mm hm.
