[Verse 1]
I had a dog, he was a mix
He loved me like a God
But I was just a kid
The kind mother likes
Now I'm big like the sky
But I'm downsized inside

[Chorus]
I'll lay this all to rest
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I'm getting all depressed
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy

[Verse 2]
I got my father's sense and my big brother's pants
And I look like a man and I feel like an ant
Just a speck on the ground
Growing like a weed
A fleck of a seed
I'll put my hand in flames

[Chorus]
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I feel like I'm born again
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy

[Chorus]
I'll put this all to rest
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I'm getting all depressed
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy
I'm just a baby who looks like a boy

[Outro]
And I'll keep hanging from your hair
And I'll keep playing in the sand
Just as long as I can

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
