31/32 - Jerry Cantrell

You were voted most likely to have your name go up in lights

Only took a few years to see that through

Now you’re most likely to end up dead alone in a hotel room

Roust the boy, smack the wife

Might have one… case tonight

Alcoholic breath, thick drool

Repetitive, belligerent, cruel

Can’t get away, no hiding place

The boy hesitates, when grown he’ll make the same mistakes

Grocery checkout line

Residing in the wellfare file

Child support, don’t receive

Mama crying, no relief

They got no home, three kids and on her own

Revenge his name, pay back all the pain

Gutshot defender, hole inside

Shell-shocked commander, are you alright?

Gutshot defender, bloodstain bright, hold tight

Shell-shocked commander

Age adult, mother gone

Friends with dad don’t really talk

Wanted to, now you’re a star

Make a living milking scars

The boy hesitates, lost his way

The boy hesitates, first and last mistakes

Gutshot defender, fill the hole

There is no commander anymore

Gutshot defender will survive, yes I

You are no pretender… no pretender

You were voted most likely to have your name go up in lights

Only took a few years to see that through

Now you’re most likely to end up dead alone in a hotel room
