We Die Young
Alice in Chains Lyrics
Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way
Watch where you spit
I'd advise you wait until it's over
Then you got hit
And you should've known better
And we die young
Faster we run
Down, down, down you're rolling
Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
Take another hit
And bury your brother
And we die young
Faster we run
Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way
Another alley trip
Bullet seek the place to bend you over
Then you got hit
And you should've known better
Faster we run
And we die young

[Chorus 1]
Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way
[Verse 1]
Watch where you spit
I'd advise you wait until it's over
Then you got hit
And you should've known better
[Chorus 2]
And we die young
Faster we run
[Verse 2]
Down, down, down you're rolling
Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
Take another hit
And bury your brother
[Chorus 2]
And we die young
Faster we run
[Chorus 1]
Scary's on the wall
Scary's on his way
[Verse 3]
Another alley trip
Bullet seek the place to bend you over
Then you got hit
And you should've known better
Faster we run
And we die young

One of the heaviest riffs ever written. Jerry Cantrell is a genius

@Birk K. Sætre You don't have to sound like a broken television to be heavy😂😂😂
Jason Hughey
Obviously never heard of Dave Mustaine. Wrote 10 of the best metal riffs an put 7 in 1 song. That my friend is genius.
Illud Divinus
Written by them probably. Otherwise you haven’t heard modern metal if you think that’s heavy. Also, probably heaviest riff for classic rock/alternative/grunge.

One does not simply get enough of Alice In Chains

@Dane Gonzalez Indeedee for real, Dane. It is not what you were typing, Dane and I can only know what you type, let's get real, I'm not Harry Potter. You must say things as they are. Else you will never become a star. Being a seasoned musician myself I do not care about labeling music. It's all just notes in a row, really. I sincerely hope that once you will understand and you can keep all this folly behind you. Good luck !

@Dane Gonzalez One does not see, dear Dane, one hears it.

@Dane Gonzalez Even though one does get enough of AiC, one does not feel they sound like Nirvana in any way.
