Care Not For The Men Who Wonder

Straw That Broke Your Back, You're Under

Cast All Them Aside Who Care

Empty Eyes And Dead End Stare

Don't You Know That None Are Blind

To The Lie, And You Think I Don't Find

What You Hide

What In God's Name Have You Done

Stick Your Arm For Some Real Fun

For The Horse You've Grown Much Fonder

Than For Me, That I Don't Ponder

As The Hair Of One Who Bit You

Smiling Bite Your Own Self, Too

And I Think That You're Not Blind

To The Ones You Left Behind

I'll Be Here

So Be Yearning All Your Life

Twisting, Turning Like A Knife

Now You Know The Reasons Why

Can't Get High Or You Will Die

Or You'll Die

So Your Sickness Weighs A Ton

And God's Name Is Smack For Some

About this Song

God Smack by Alice In Chains is a raw and introspective grunge track that delves into themes of addiction, personal struggle, and the painful consequences that come with substance abuse. The repeated line 'God Smack' can be interpreted as a reference to the powerful and uncontrollable pull of addiction, almost as if it's a divine punishment or force. The song’s intense and gritty delivery, combined with its haunting lyrics, paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced by those battling dependency. Poignant moments in the song occur through its vivid imagery and the despair conveyed in Layne Staley's voice, capturing the sense of being trapped and overwhelmed by addiction.
