"31/32" lyrics - JERRY CANTRELL

[Intro:]
You were voted "Most Likely
To Have Your Name Go up in Lights"
Only took a few years to see that through
Now you're most likely to end up
Dead alone in a hotel room
Thirty-one/thirty-two

Roust the boy, smack the wife
Might have one... case tonight
Alcoholic breath, thick drool
Repetitive, belligerent, cruel

[Pre-Chorus:]
Can't get away
Oh, oh, no hiding place
The boy hesitates
When grown, he'll make the same mistakes

Grocery checkout line
Residing in the welfare file
Child support, don't receive
Mama crying, no relief

[Pre-Chorus:]
They got no home
Three kids and on her own
Revenge: his name
Pay back all the pain

[Chorus:]
Gut-shot defender, hole inside
Shell-shocked commander, are you all right?
Gut-shot defender, bloodstain bright, hold tight
Shell-shocked commander

Age: adult, mother gone
Friends with Dad, don't really talk
Wanted to, now you're a star
Make a living milking scars

[Pre-Chorus:]
The boy hesitates
Lost his way
The boy hesitates
First and last mistakes

[Chorus:]
Gut-shot defender, fill the hole
There is no commander anymore
Gut-shot defender will survive, yes, I
You are no pretender... no pretender

[Bridge:]
You were voted "Most Likely
To Have Your Name Go up in Lights"
Only took a few years to see that through
Now you're most likely to end up
Dead alone in a hotel room
Thirty-one/thirty-two

[Outro:]
Thirty-one/thirty-two
Thirty-one/thirty-two, yeah
Thirty-one/thirty-two
Oh, ah, ooh
