Fair use rationale for Tool (band)

I, User:Johnnyw, believe that publishing part of the song in the article named above does fall under fair use since:

• it is used for informational purposes only, and adds significantly to the biographical narrative of the artist, as the artist experienced censorship by MTV, and MuchMusic — both cases are documented in the biography.
• it gives the reader of the article a better understanding of the songs intentions, spanning the first 4 verses of the lyrics, which introduce the sensitive subject matter, child abuse. The treatment of the subject matter in both lyrics and its music video was responsible for the censorship mentioned in the article (and above) and critical commentary during that time.
• it is of drastically reduced quality and length, rendering it useless for any commercial use.
