I really like this song haha. The intro is perfect with the lick and the cowbell just playing which transitions into the full band sound, awesome! The lyric scheme sounds like Phil is pissed at someone who is rich and has power (go figure hehe). He talks about some guy getting his sentence reduced and how the guy's dad is rich and pulls strings. I think drag the waters refers to the guy just biding his time not knowing eventually justice will check him. I could be completely wrong haha if you know what drag the waters means let me know! The drums and everything is heavy as fuck at 2:37 those two hits are huge sounding! Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics 🎤

A smack on the wrists is the words
From the mouth of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns and the rape
It should all be O.K
Your father is rich, he's the judge, he's the man
He's the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows
What he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you
In you

[Chorus][x2]
Drag the waters some more
Like never before

[Verse 2]
Sweet is the slice and the lips
You're going to have that woman
She is your favorite lay
Promised you swore that no one had been there, and
She was going to keep it that way
Let it move in, you got thin, and got high, and
Your money went and so did your friends
But she's by your side, and her smile cannot hide
The premonition of the beckoning end
The end
[Chorus][x12]

[Outro]
In with it, out with it

The reference to the smack on a wrist indicates a minor punishment for a minor infringement. Applied to the rest of the line, the smack is used as an idiom, indicating that the accused in question will not be punished severely, such as having to pay a fine rather than serve jail time.

While certainly ironic (“It should all be OK”), these lines both condemn the penal system for not reducing extreme crimes and provide the perspective of the offender. The second of these two lines also serves dual roles as a response to the “small price to pay” and as a transition into the next line, which addresses the nepotism found within the legal system by directly addressing the accused and his/her relationship with a member of the legal system.

The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on May 7, 1996 through East West Records. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. Phil Anselmo recorded the vocals alone at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans[3] while Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dalworthington Gardens.

Considered Pantera's most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming,[5][6] most notably on "Suicide Note Pt. II" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars ("The Underground in America" and "(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin" were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars[4] and ballads.[7]

Unlike Pantera's first three major label albums, the vocals are often double-tracked and layered to create a more "demonic" effect.[citation needed] An example of this can be heard in the chorus of "13 Steps to Nowhere", when Phil Anselmo's singing voice is backed up by high-pitched screaming, done by Seth Putnam of the band Anal Cunt.[8] Screams done by Anselmo on the song "The Great Southern Trendkill" were compared to Putnam.[9]

The lyrical themes on The Great Southern Trendkill include drugs, a flood that ends mankind, finding deeper meaning, anger, and the media.[4][7][10][11][12][13] The album features elements of thrash metal[5][14] and death metal,[9] but is mostly considered a groove metal album overall.[5]

On August 12, 2016, Pantera announced the release of a 20th anniversary edition of The Great Southern Trendkill for October 21.[18] The reissue features two discs, including a remastered version of the original album as well as 12 unreleased tracks (these include instrumentals, as well as alternative mixes and live recordings from the Dynamo Festival in 1998).[19] In addition, a separate LP named The Great Southern Outtakes was released. It consists of songs also released on disc 2 of Trendkill's reissue except for the intro and early mix of "Suicide Note Part l".[20]
