Alice In Chains - Don't Be Satisfied Lyrics






I was raised in a middle class family
And I [?] in a shiny new car
Daddy's [?] good cold fear
That I wouldn't go far

I could be a lawyer and win a case
Or be a doctor or make a decision
But I'm taking the hollow, take it today
I wanna go rags to riches

Take it all the way
Now that I want
To make it on my own
I see

Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be

It feels better to make it big
And fall a few times to feel the pain
When I get back up on my feet again
[?] my name

Take it all the way
Now that I want
To make it on my own
I see

Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
...

  1. J.... A....

    Layne sounds strange...

  2. J.... A....

    Incredible! Layne sounds a lot like Kurt Cobain on Fecal Matter.

  3. J.... A....

    Sounds a little like Black Sabbath but with a hair metal version...

  4. J.... A....

    Is this Alice in chains?

  5. S.... G....

    I love finding all of AiCs old Glam, Metal days songs. Like finding an old jem that's still shiny (if that makes sense) lol

  7. M.... L....

    Love this...Layne's stuff is always precious

  8. M.... L....

    I like hair metal but they sucked. Granted if they had a real producer and a good studio who knows. But they were stellar as a grunge band.

  9. g.... a....

    yeah very hot to see a teenager full of pimples on hes face , so hot

  10. E.... ....

    E.... ....

    They didn't become anything, they dissolved.

  18. I.... ....

    WOW geniale :)

  19. Z.... ....

    I puked when I saw Layne dressed in drag

  20. S.... C....

    this is the best alice 'n chains song :)

  21. B.... ....

    The lyrics are really simple but I actually really love them. You can tell he lived by them to a certain extent in order to become such a great musician.

  22. C.... B....

    @Wesson4 I read something about Layne giving Jerry a place to stay, so they started jamming together, but Layne was still in a band, so Jerry made his own band. When that happened Layne said fuck it, jumped his band and with with Jerry. That's what I heard.

    C.... B....

    yeah jerry was playing in a glam band (similar to Alice 'n chains Layne's band) while layne was playing with a funk group when they met. Jerry said he heard Layne singin' at a show and he decided he wanted to be in a band with him. Jerry started to play with Sean and Mike and Layne started jamming with them. The other 3 wanted him to become their singer and initially Jerry agreed to play guitar for Layne's funk group in exchange but after a while Jerry and the others wanted Laybe to commit full time to their band and tricked him auditioning terrible singers on purpose so Layne decided to join full time.

  23. C.... ....

    I like this stuff just can't believe people considered them to be grunge back in the 90s but oh well I guess it was the whole Seattle thing. I love love Layne's voice and sometimes I wish I could go back and get him.

  24. M.... L....

    the begining of this song remainds me of Metallica version of Am I evil

  25. C.... R....

    Thank you so much for uploading this Claudia. Keep 'em coming.

  26. D.... S....

    Keep in mind that Layne is the only member who survived into Alice in Chains. According to their bio, this incarnation included "guitarist Nick Pollock, bassist Johnny Bacolas, and drummer James Bergstrom, performing around the Seattle area playing Slayer and Armored Saint covers."
