[Verse 1]
Before you ask for something better
You should know I'm practiced at goodbyes
Are you so deprived?
Think you're doing me a favor
I don't need no lesser savior
I'm doing fine

[Pre-Chorus]
Fragile things so close together
Taped up, broken from before
Part of something or all of nothing
A very long hard way to fall

[Chorus]
Go then, if you don't feel right living in our home
Choking, eat your pride, eat your pride alone
Go then, if you don't feel right living in our home
Choking, eat your pride alone

[Verse 2]
Needless tension, the walls around you
Built before you came to tear them down
It was you I found
Take some time to think it over
If it's so hard to walk this road we mind
Then it's time to say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Fragile things so close together
Taped up broken from before
Part of something or all of nothing
A very long hard way to fall

[Chorus]
Go then, if you don't feel right living in our home
Choking, eat your pride, eat your pride alone
Go then, if you don't feel right living in our home
Choking, eat your pride alone

[Outro]
So go then, if you don't feel right living in our home
Choking, eat your pride, eat your pride alone
If you don't feel right living in our home
Eat your pride alone

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.
