Man In The Box
Alice In Chains · Live [2000]
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut
( 36 second Guitar solo)
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me
Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Oohh
I'm the dog who gets beat

Man In The Box
Alice In Chains delivers a gritty, blues-infused rock anthem on their 2000 live recording, Live. The track showcases the band's signature blend of heavy distortion and Melvin Denis's distinctive vocal delivery, capturing the raw energy of their performance at the Music Bank festival. As a staple of their discography, the song exemplifies the Seattle grunge sound that defined the early 2000s, featuring layered guitars and a driving rhythm section that underscores themes of urban struggle and resilience. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to translate the intensity of a live set into a studio-ready recording that remains a cornerstone of their catalog.
