You say you don't like the way we look

Well fuck off

I ain't some dying dog that you can kick

So fuck off

It's so easy to fall into that hole

And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

You say you don't like the place I live

Well get out

There ain't no vacancy in my bed

So get out

It's so easy to fall into that hole

And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

(1, 2, 3, Go...)

You say you don't like the way we look

Well fuck off

I ain't some dying dog that you can kick

So fuck off

It's so easy to fall into that hole

And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

About this Song

Social Parasite by Alice In Chains delves into themes of addiction, dependency, and societal contribution. The song is a raw commentary on the destructive nature of people who take advantage of others without contributing positively to society. It chances upon poignant moments that highlight the frustration and exhaustion experienced by those who are affected by such parasitic behavior. Through gritty guitar riffs and visceral lyrics, the band paints a vivid picture of the emotional and social toll taken by these 'social parasites'.

You say you don't like the way we look

Well fuck off

I ain't some dying dog that you can kick

So fuck off

It's so easy to fall into that hole

And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

You say you don't like the place I live

Well get out

There ain't no vacancy in my bed

So get out

It's so easy to fall into that hole

And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

So fuck off

It's so easy to fall into that hole

And you're the one who cast me in that role

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right

If you loved me would you call me a social parasite

And who's the one to tell me whether it's wrong or right
