Lyrics 31/32 - Jerry Cantrell

31/32

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
