Don’t Be SatisfiedAlice in Chains

[Verse 1]
I was raised in a middle class family
And I (?) in a shiny new car
Daddy's (?) good cold fear
That I wouldn't go far

I could be a lawyer and win a case
Or be a doctor or make a decision
Taking the hollow, take it today
I wanna go rags to riches

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it all the way
Now that I want
To make it on my own
I see

[Chorus]
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be

[Verse 2]
It feels better to make it big
And fall a few times to feel the pain
When I get back up on my feet again
(?) my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it all the way
Now that I want
To make it on my own
I see

[Chorus x3]
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be, I said
Don't be satisfied
Be what you wanna be

Be what you wanna
Be what you wanna
Be what you wanna be

Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains are a Seattle-based rock band. They rose to international fame in the early 1990s as part of the ‘grunge’ movement. They are one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed acts of the 90s. Their first 3 studio albums all went multi-platinum and they have received 8 Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock performance (sadly, never winning once).

Their unique sound comes from the harmonized vocals of co-founders Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, as showcased in some of their biggest songs like “No Excuses” from Jar of Flies, “Angry Chair” from Dirt and “Again” from the self-titled album. Cantrell also serves as the primary songwriter and guitarist of the band.

The band was never restricted to grunge. Cantrell believes it to be heavy metal; and indeed a lot of modern heavy metal bands cite Alice in Chains as an influence, including Metallica for Death Magnetic.
