Alice in Chains

[Verse 1]
Hot leather and sex
All the things that I dress in best
Ain't no way you can beat
The way I'm flyin' fast on my feet

[Chorus]
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And I'm ready to roll
I'm the king, I'm the king, i'm the king of the kats
And baby that's a fact alright

[Verse 2]
Quickest gun in the west
There ain't no question that I'm the best
Drinking 'til I die
You're sick and skinny well so am I

[Chorus]
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And I'm ready to roll
I'm the king, I'm the king, i'm the king of the kats
And baby that's a fact alright

(Look out!)

[Chorus]
I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of the kats
And I'm ready to roll
I'm the king, I'm the king, i'm the king of the kats
And baby that's a fact alright

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.
