We Die Young - Alice in Chains - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Alice in Chains may go straight for the jugular with the meaty guitar into of "We Die Young," but there's plenty of thought-provoking content submerged in this slab of beefcake heavy metal. "Scary's on the wall / Scary's on his way," roars Layne Staley, before adding: "Watch where you spit / I'd advise you wait until it's over / Then you got hit / And you should've known better," making a reference to youth gang violence which reaches its apex at the end of the song ("Another alley trip / Bullets seek the place to bend you over / Then you got hit / And you should've known better / Faster we run / And we die young"). The band's Jerry Cantrell was inspired to write this track after witnessing a number of children dealing drugs locally one day. Released in 1990 and engineered and co-produced by Dave Jerden, "We Die Young' is a song and single EP – and the first studio EP for Alice in Chains.
