Dirt

Alice In Chains · Music Bank [1999]

I have never felt such frustration

Or lack of self control

I want you to kill me

And dig me under, I want to live no more



One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be

I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

For me



I want to taste dirty, a stinging pistol

In my mouth, on my tongue

I want you to scrape me from the walls

And go crazy like you've made me



One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be

I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me



One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be

I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

For me



You, you are so special

You have the talent to

Make me feel like dirt

And you, you use your

Talent to dig me under

And cover me with dirt



One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be

I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me



One who doesn't care is one who shouldn't be

I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me
