Alice In Chains - God Smack Lyrics






Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you're under
Cast all them aside who care
Empty eyes and dead end stare

Don't you know that none are blind
To the lie, and you think I don't find what you hide?

What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun

For the horse you've grown much fonder
Than for me, that I don't ponder
As the hair of one who bit you
Smiling bite your own self, too

And I think that you're not blind
To the ones you left behind
I'll be here

What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun

So be yearning all your life
Twisting, turning like a knife

Now you know the reasons why
Can't get high, or you will die
Or you'll die

What in God's name have you done?
Stick your arm for some real fun
So your sickness weighs a ton
And God's name is smack for some

  1. T.... ....

    This song taught Shakira how to sing

  2. T.... ....

    This song proves that Layne is the GOAT

  3. B.... V....

    I can do headbanging so long by this song!

  4. M.... ....

    The chorus of this song sounds a lot like the chorus of "Critical Darling" by Slipknot.

  5. J.... C....

    Layne j Brad Noel kjkatcim

  6. J.... C....

    I wrote everything

    J.... C....

  8. J.... C....

    But you'll die struck oil

  9. J.... C....

    Twisting goes your spike

  10. J.... C....

    But Layne gets fifty mill

  11. J.... C....

    And God's name is heroin for some

  12. J.... C....

    It's about cocaine injection period

  13. f.... ....

    He sounds like Han Solo freezing his ass off while Luke is all warm and squishy in a Tauntaun on Hoth. Singing this...in his head.

  14. S.... M....

    mike starr should of dialled 911

  17. O.... M....

    1:08 Slipknot -critical darling anyone ???

  18. R.... A....

    Godsmack means you do so much smack you got to god meaning you od

  19. l.... g....

    Olá sou do Brasil interessante esse toque de guitarra parece um pouco com o Nirvana

  20. O.... P....

    Godsmack is a lethal dose of heroin. Pretty depressing to name your band that.

  21. S.... S....

    Who ever dislikes this band should get shot like a dog to be put out of their miserable life!!! Layne has always been one of my very favorites, may your soul seek the peace it deserves brother and maybe ill get to meet you in the next life or in death!!! Rip layne staley...

    S.... S....

    Just had to say about 80 percent of the world does drugs everyday, about 95 percent has at least tried drugs- maybe things arnt as bad as they are made to seem like drugs, people are still living there LIFE- still alive breathing human being ... I guess point made

  22. A.... C....

    1:06
    What is coming has begun.....🎵🎵🎵


    *Waaaait* 🤔

    A.... C....

    Adrian C. Thought I was the only one who noticed that

    A.... C....

    Hahaha, that's the first thing me and my dad noticed!

  23. J.... J....

    Use drugs responsibly. Recreational Drug Use Awareness Week. For High Schools Juniors and Seniors. 2020. National Drug Use Initiative

    J.... J....

    How about don't use drugs at all. Much better choice.

  24. R.... E....

    Does anyone else hear the chorus of this in the new Slipknot song, "Critical Darling"?

    R.... E....

    Yep. I keep singing this in my head while critical darling is on. Glad I'm not the only one!

  25. J.... J....

    2:45 he said “sully earn-ing” and sully earna is signer of Godsmack

  26. S.... ....

    Critical Darling

    S.... ....

    Is fucking equal

    S.... ....

    @Tino D The same hahaha

    S.... ....

    THANK YOU! I knew I wasn't the only one that heard that.

  27. K.... W....

    This song goes harder than a pissed off ex on a meth binge

  28. L.... B....

    This song reminds me a little bit of SOAD

  29. j.... ....

    Godsmack is also slang for a heroin overdose.

  30. C.... R....

    I think that this song could be talking about the racetrack. You should see how people react at the track as the race is being run. And then, there's someone who just hit a pick 4, or something, acting super-stoked.

  31. W.... C....

    This is the Wacky Inflatable Arm Flailing Tubeman’s theme song

  32. M.... B....

    *CARE* nOoOoT fOoOr ThEeE mEeEn WhOoOo WoNdEeRrRr

  33. c.... m....

    10 little Flintstones?

  34. A.... ....

    Always thought of Layne as a billy goat, the vocals here solidify that.

    Just for comparisons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoHClBNZCV8

  35. C.... V....

    What the fuck was wrong with this dude?

  36. a.... ....

    Layne Staley had a prophetic vision of a two-bit Stone Temple Pilots cover band that would hit it big selling the Navy and he tried to warn us and none of us dumb bastards listened

  37. E.... K....

    Layne Staley, the bhAaAAast

  38. P.... D....

    17 years ago today. Rip Layne.

  39. m.... ....

    I have this theory that Layne was batting at his throat in the studio for the recording of this tune...shaking it with his hand. Only because this is so much different than his usual vibrato. It’s more of a tremolo...like an air flow manipulation.

  40. A.... S....

    its almost as if layne had a whammy bar in his throat

  41. D.... K....

    What a solo that and man in boxand mtv sludge factory solos are best ever

  42. D.... S....

    This is gold

  43. D.... K....

    Best jerry Cantrell solo he’s got many this ones best

  44. S.... ....

    It feels weird seeing 2 band names in the title of a song

  45. p.... w....

    Ask me 3 reasons why Layne was the greatest, I'll give you 5.

  46. W.... W....

    I burned this album all the way into my memory bank.

  47. A.... J....

    Godsmack is is heroin thats likely to kill your ass

  48. B.... ....

    suck heavy grimy trippy riffs. the fucking best man

  49. D.... Z....

    *"WHAT IN GOD'S NAME HAVE YOU DONE??"*

  50. D.... N....

    The guitar is killer on this track!

  51. J.... 1....

    Just admit it people Aic is better than nirvana. Stop using that stupid argument that they're both"good in their way". I'm sorry but nirvana is not that good as it seems. Aic has better musicians, has better melodies and the vocals are incredible. You just can't say the same thing about nirvana. The only thing that nirvana has that aic doesn't is more records sold and that's mostly because the media was mainly focused on the band(ex:heavy rotation of 'Smells like Teen Spirit' on mtv, etc.). For me that ain't a good argument at all, because even if a band has many records sold, it doesn't mean their good(with that logic we could say that Lil pump or Nickelback are good bands, and I think we can agree that they aren't).

  52. S.... L....

    This song alone is better thand the band itself, Godsmack

  53. A.... D....

    Layne’s voice reminds me of Eddie Vedder.

    A.... D....

    Your voice reminds me of farting

  54. B.... W....

    This song tho?

  55. L.... ....

    The physical world is an illusion.

    L.... ....

    Pass the blunt homie

  56. d.... ....

    Im always waiting for " I am iron GLAND!"

  57. X.... R....

    I have never liked godsmack. The song yes, the band no

  58. S.... H....

    Jerry Cantrell is doing quite well after Layne's passing

  59. Y.... o....

    D o o m

  60. T.... B....

    "what in God's name have you done?"

  61. e.... ....

    Song is about herion.
    Herion in spanish slang is chiva
    Chiva is spanish for goat
    Layne sounds like a goat
    AIC Gets it

    e.... ....

    cuerno de chivo

    e.... ....

    @btchhopperou812 goat horn???

    e.... ....

    @btchhopperou812 also Mexican slang for an ak-47...

    e.... ....

    @Jared Wojciechowski bingo...

  62. L.... Q....

    Great Nirvana cover.

    L.... Q....

    Wtf are you on about?

  63. C.... C....

    The greatest

  64. D.... K....

    I would have sued god smack for using this name

  65. D.... V....

    Now you know the reasons why, can't get high or you will die 🎶

    D.... V....

    Thats right. Get that 1st rush again & your gonna die. You reach that point where your using just to take the sick away. One of the best songs about heroin addiction I've ever heard(along with Angry Chair). Even down to laynes quivering voice. 🐎 ☠👻

  66. m.... ....

    At the peak of his powers Staley was a true force of nature.

  67. K.... W....

    Smile and bite your own self too..

  68. D.... E....

    I love that even Alice In Chains' fans don't know how to spell the song's name...

  69. C.... B....

    I like Alice in Chains. I do not like this song because of the vibrato in Layne's voice. It's hard to believe that, of all of their songs, this is the one that became the name of another band.

  70. C.... B....

    Oh man. I haven't really listened to AIC for a long time. Real life lends me no escape. I've rediscovered this glorious grunge rock. It takes me back to a simpler time. I was young, fit, making bank and banging chicks. Hot summer nights. Fast cars. I need this now in my life.

  71. M.... L....

    He sounds like a literal goat, probably on purpose. The man was immensely talented

    M.... L....

    The sound of a man trying to talk while going through severe withdrawals.

    M.... L....

    jojocamel60 it is shivering emulated to explain the pain of withdrawal

    M.... L....

    @Thalia Jade Yea, unfortunately been there many times. Way too many. I can remember trying to talk while shivering inside. I wouldn't put that pain on my worst enemy. I'm ok now though. Thank God for methadone. 15 years clean. I wish Layne could have found peace in this world. I hope he's at peace now. ✌

    M.... L....

    In spanish we call the heroin "chiva" and chiva in english is Goat
    So...

  72. T.... ....

    "YEAH... yeahhh. yeahhhh.... yeahhhhhh." Love that part

  73. V.... ....

    2018 And Gods name is smack for some.
    Great lyrics

    RIP Layne Staley

  74. J.... S....

    Sorry kids Staley > Cornell

    J.... S....

    They are both infinitely legendary

  75. X.... S....

    Love the song severely hate the band.

    X.... S....

    Xerxes Setzer why what's wrong with them

    X.... S....

    You wot m8

    X.... S....

    Weird...I’ve never heard anyone say they hate Alice In Chains before.

    Maybe when they first came out because layne’s voice was so creepy but that’s about it. They’ve been pretty uniformly acclaimed in the years since

    X.... S....

    everyone has an opinion,personally I think your opinion sucks.

    X.... S....

    He ment godsmack the band

  76. F.... G....

    Lance Stanley sucks

  77. w.... g....

    2.26 -2.42 il senso del grunge

  78. C.... S....

    I feel like Serj Tankian could do a really good cover of this song

    C.... S....

    @Kaori Kanzaki System of a Down's singer.

  79. K.... G....

    Fresh tune no lie at first I thought I was hearing a bit of Kurt’s voice here but hear it’s all Layne’s though Kurt, Nirvana and AIC are all great quality bands I miss Kurt and Layne

  80. M.... M....

    Godsmack - Alice In Chains

  81. T.... T....

    March 2018, still screaming my voice out and straining my neck

  82. l.... m....

    The best vocalist to ever walk this Earth!

  83. I.... H....

    If you're looking for the ultimate vibrato test, this is it

  84. A.... ....

    I thought it was "stick your arm for some remorse" hehe.

  85. B.... ....

    WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH

  86. s.... 8....

    3:45 yeah

  87. R.... W....

    2018 tar slam ! new year shoot fest! junkie nest ! 710

  88. c.... m....

    Ten Little Flinstones

  89. E.... R....

    He was so introspective and honest about his addiction... This album is almost a celebration of the fame that brought him the money to indulge. Awesome.

  90. d.... c....

    god smack should do a song call I'm a rip off many hungry poser that stood from allice in chains .

  91. H.... F....

    Why does Layne sound like Jello Biafra and why am I alright with this?

  92. *.... B....

    ♡ Love you, Layne!

  93. T.... H....

    Now we know where SOAD got their sound.

  94. J.... J....

    Godsmacks should cover this song.

    J.... J....

    John Edgar that would be awful!

  95. J.... o....

    2017 anyone?

    J.... o....

    jonathan owens h22 nope last time I listen to this was about 1973 on 8 track in my step grandma's half brothers cousin's car with a guy that now plays triangle in Nickelback..... of course people are listening to this in 2017 to be listening to this until there's no more internet or way to play music.....

    J.... o....

    Layne Staley 🤘

    J.... o....

    _Chainz _ I think Layne was about 6 yrs. old in 1973.

  96. c.... m....

    Flintstones: spaceship beams down and produces dozens of duplicate Fred Flintstones?

  97. E.... ....

    Godsmack is just a bunch of copycat bros. BRUH, WE'RE TOTALLY OUR OWN SOUND, BRAAAAH.

  98. A.... P....

    His voice in this song reminds me of Dax Riggs
