Alice In Chains - No Excuses Lyrics






It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

Alice In Chains No Excuses Comments
  1. B.... W....

    Who else still loves this song in 2099?

  2. s.... 7....

    That is one tight snare.

  3. A.... R....

    Unbelievable drum sound intro especially for the year it was produced & such great feel though out the whole song!

  4. g.... ....

    23 years man...

  5. R.... M....

    This song brings back some amazing memories and emotions. Layne was the best singer of the 90's

  6. S.... J....

    Ridiculously awesome band, lyricist, guitarist and singer, great work.

    S.... J....

    I'm glad Alice still lives on, it's great to see the band goes on, I really miss Layne, and Chris from Soundgarden.

  7. A.... J....

    This brings me very good memories, the first time I listened to it I was playing Guitar Hero Metallica with the girl I liked, what a beautiful moment

  8. A.... R....

    My favorite AIC song -- and that's saying something.

  9. G.... H....

    They are the last real hard rock band. They were dark in reality. Not satanic bullshit. Bands today are a joke. Got sleeves? Check eyeliner? Check. Singer look like wanna be pro wrestler? You know it. Shit songs about vets and the us of a ? Check- barf fuck yes.
    Lol, if you have a sleeve in your 20's grats wannabe.

    G.... H....

    nobody knows what heavy is, its real fucking life. Thats why i like Gojira, then went to Grimaze, then back to lamb of god, then back to AIC immortal!

  10. C.... B....

    This Band does something for me that I still rarely get off any other band out and this song is one of many that just make you feel ok for that moment and sink in your chair and let the deep lyrics run through you . I hope these guys know just how much their music has meant to so many and how much it carried us through .

  11. M.... D....

    God i miss you Layne.

  12. R.... B....

  22. T.... S....

    Ever had that feeling you needed to talk to an old and wise friend to connect to some distant memories of a better time? This song is what you listen to when you don't have one or can't find one.

  26. D.... W....

    It's alright
    There comes a time
    Got no patience to search
    For peace of mind
    Layin' low
    Want to take it slow
    No more hiding or
    Disguising truths I've sold

    Everyday it's something
    Hits me all so cold
    Find me sittin' by myself
    No excuses, then I know

    It's okay
    Had a bad day
    Hands are bruised from
    Breaking rocks all day
    Drained and blue

    You're drowning in it too

    Everyday it's something

  27. R.... P....

    I love this song!

  28. D.... S....

    Happy 25th Anniversary to the "Jars of Flies" EP ☺

  29. a.... ....

    this is how i still feel around most of my family, and society at large, sometimes.

  30. p.... ....

    Remember where I was when I heard this first. Saw the video as a teen. Shortly thereafter bought the album—first real intro to AiC.

    The rest of the album was amazing. Even had a dark green jar of flies shirt.

  31. S.... R....

    *RIP REAL MUSIC*

  32. L.... P....

    When MTV was MTV and played Vids. AIC is and was always so talented. I miss Layne,

  33. L.... ....

    1:42 one of my favorite parts of the video

  34. M.... ....

    Layne 🌷💐

  35. O.... C....

    Até um mês atrás não conhecia "as musicas" da banda... SENSACIONAIS!!!!

  36. P.... W....

    You cant die Layne... because we wont let you go, we wont forget you.
    Those riffs man.. savage

  37. L.... M....

    Wish Layne could have kept up with his new sobriety.. He looked healthy in this video and down in a hole. Moreso in down in a hole. After that, he started using again and by the time I stay away was done in claymation and the ones before that where he was in a suit and sunglasses his face and body were so gaunt and you knew he was hiding the needle marks under the gloves. Sad 😢💔..

  38. k.... ....

    This song has been going around and around in my head for the last three weeks! Aaaahhhhhhh!

  39. _.... _....

    Layne + Jerry = best duo ever.
    Change my mind

  40. R.... D....

    Layne 🖤

  41. R.... M....

    Being from Seattle I'm often asked "Who's the best band from that area?" My answer: Heart! My favorite: Alice In Chains. But the best music from here came from Jimi.

  42. R.... M....

    "Every day it's something hits me oh so cold ....Find me sitting by myself no excuses then I know..."

  43. j.... M....

    Who else still here in 2019

  44. J.... H....

    Such great harmony in this song!

  45. Z.... R....

    This song goes slow and smooth

  46. R.... D....

    I was a teenager during the 90s era and I’m from South Alabama here I am 40 years old living in Seattle still loving this music 2019

  47. D.... K....

    My Father died Saturday night at 43 (Just a few hours before the 10th anniversary of Black Fades Way to Blue). Alice in Chains was his absolute favorite band in the world, even our Shiba Inu dog is named Chains. I've been doing a very good job of keeping myself together, having only really cried the night it happened. But today when I heard this song I started cracking. Love you Dad, miss you.

  48. P.... S....

    💔Lancaster/Pa Atlanta /Ga🐻

  49. �.... S....

    Even in it's own loosely defined genre of Pacific NW "grunge" this album stands apart. No other album defines and offers the feel of autumns and winters here in the '90's. I was fortunate to have moved here in '91 and lived the era. It was awesome...the snow, the music.\m/ 🌲🗻↘🏂❄🎼🎧
    I miss it all. 😞 Us Gen-X'ers really got jacked in life...passed by.

  50. c.... l....

    the best song from the best band feat the best ever singer r.i.p Layne

  51. w.... S....

    gives me goosies

    w.... S....

    wait I’m getting my glasses for this one

    w.... S....

    okay one second

    w.... S....

    @gretagrain dont forget j and a jam sandwich ha'

    w.... S....

    AWESOME...I’m just kinda like this: https://youtu.be/gsC4kf6x_Q0

    w.... S....

    remember AI is not there yet...I’m trying to hold the line

  52. r.... ....

    Remember so well those summer nights, staying up late and watching headbangers ball on mtv, enjoying real music like this. Now its just computerized voices from marshmallo and the such, with no soul or real instruments. God I miss the times!

  53. F.... t....

    Spot that drum kick-in drum intro any time.

  54. K.... C....

    AIC superb. What a brilliant band ..Laynes voice was exceptional

  55. A.... ....

    I miss when music had raw emotion and meaning. Everything is trash now

  56. D.... N....

    As much as I like William DuVall’s vocal style, Layne Staley will always be the best singer for AIC.

  57. B.... M....

    how 1000 plus people could dislike this baffles me......

  58. n.... ....

    My family: Why do you always have money now days?
    Me: can't find any cool clothes like I could back in the 90's that I used to spend all my money on lol

  59. J.... D....

    RIP Layne. Your music is a place I can go to when I’m just simply drained. We all miss you dearly.

  60. B.... C....

    Great songs will live forever

  61. L.... ....

    AiC fix that outro you're scaring me

  62. T.... 1....

    Who else still loves this song in 2019?

    T.... 1....

  65. a.... ....

    I associate coconut dressing up as a sphinx at the end of Harry Potter and the goblet of fire with thiss

  66. C.... ....

  77. C.... ....

    Whoever set up the links in the description is an ass hat.

  78. M.... K....

    Just...so good

  79. K.... D....

    I still remember givin the MTV unplugged album of them to a girl of mine, She Said She only liked this song, the others were to dark lol

  80. U.... 1....

    AIC was a million times better than Nirvana. I always thought nirvana was overrated as fuck. And when Kurt killed himself it raised their popularity. Nirvana is an icon. But their music was so bland. Same corny powerchords cheesy meaningless lyrics. I’m ok with them. But nowhere near the level of other bands of that era. Their mediocrity made it easy for many to keep up with I feel.

    But when you listen to AIC, it’s just right. The guitar. The lyrics. The vocal harmony. Their music. I can hear and feel the emotion radiate. Drums. Bass lines and Jerry’s solos fit perfectly.
    I enjoy that there is some technicality.

    Nirvana was just noisy. Kurt was an awful guitarist and vocalist. I dig what Dave did tho. He’s an amazing drummer. But other than that. It was just meh with them.

  81. B.... S....

    There's only 1 AIC, and that's with Layne Staley in it.

  82. N.... W....

    I used to listen to this as a freshman in high school. The lyrics take on a much more profound meaning now as I’m pushing 40 and after being chewed up and spit out by similar demons that unfortunately took Layne.
    Memory Eternal LS ❤️☦️

  83. N.... D....

    no one fucking understands what this song means to me. This song is my very first memory of music. Layne's voice is probably one of my earliest memories. I forced my parents to replay No Excuses in the car OVER AND OVER again to the point where my sister doesn't even like the song to this day (she likes it but is forever tired of it. idk how?). This song is engraved in my memory and heart just as Layne is. Rest in Peace Layne, we think about you everyday

  84. J.... B....

    Iam 56 loved them since day 1ish g8 band

  85. K.... S....
