Dude, I was just listening to this song and I FINALLY UNDERSTAND what its about and it fuckin tripped me out

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alice In Chains
God Smack

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

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

So Your Sickness Weighs A Ton
And God's Name Is Smack For Some
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its about heroin if u didnt get it....I never thought of that but it just clicked in my head like 2 minutes ago lol
Samething happened with Spoon Man by Soundgarden...all about crack and I never realised it...weird how that shit works lol

yeah man, he's an Alice fan too Smile And I love discussing Lane Stanely and his views and what he talked about...the man is possibly one of the smartest ppl ever, imo
And u dont meet to many ppl who respect Lane like i do and syn does and one of my boys does....he's a musicial genius to say the least.

I have a question about a next song....this is about politics right?

Alice In Chains
God Am

dear god, how have you been, then?
i'm not fine, fuck pretending
all of this death you're sending
best throw some free heart mending

invite you in my heart, then
when done, my sinds forgiven?
this god of mine relaxes
world dies i still pay taxes

can i be as my god am
can you be as god am
can i be as my god am
god of all my god am

so lord, i see you grinnin'
must be grand always winning
how proud are you being able
to gather faith from fable

can i be as my god am
can you be as god am
can i be as my god am
god of all my god am
god am
my god am
god am
god

all this respect i'm giving
shared strength acquired by livin'
all bloomin' life youre feeding
can't hide sick ones you're weeding

can i be as my god am
can you be as god am
can i be as my god am
god of all my god am
god am
god am
god am
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lol I dunno man
U know Spoon Man by Soundgarden...guy, Ive listened to that song since I was a kid and only like a year ago did it click...
"all my friends around the edge....All my friends are brown and red...SPOON MAN!".....then "come on rock it all, come on rock it all, come on rock it up, Spoon Man"....lol its obvious its about crack or possibly meth (sounds more like rocking up coke tho) but it just never clicked. Smile

Im pretty sure "god am" is just as straight forward as the words state, its about a relationship with "god" after seeing all the bad shit that happens in the world. His attempts at understanding why a religious leader with emense power would sit there and watch, even purposely punish the people he created.

All this respect i'm giving - Prayer, Church, Religion breeds respect and followers.
Shared strength acquired by living - the life he has led giving him strength through hard times, he has helped himself.
All bloomin life you're feeding - God is providing life on earth for us all (Wink)
Cant hide the sick ones you're weeding - Yet in reality he is screwing over loads of people, playing with they're lives and not really giving a shit.

Thats how I see it anyway.
