Real Thing Songtext
von Alice in Chains

I messed around as a little boy
I grew up, made the blade my new toy
Friends said, "Boy with what you screwin′ around"
I said, "Don't concern yourselves and just give me another blast"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Under the hill, with just a few notches on my belt
Take it away, don′t want no more
Even if you say just one more
I won't leave you alone, hoo

I grew up, went into rehab
You know the doctors never did me no good
They said, "Son, you're gonna be a new man"
I said, "Thank you very much and can I borrow 50 bucks?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Under the hill, with just a few notches on my belt
Take it away, don′t want no more
Even if you say just one more
I won′t leave you alone


'Cause I′m goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin′ down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere
Goin′ down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere

I messed around as a little boy
I grew up, made the blade my new toy
Friends said, "Boy, with what you fuckin′ around?"
I said, "Oh my God, and here we go again"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Under the hill, with just a few notches on my belt
Take it away, don′t want no more, no more
Even if you say just one more
I won't leave you alone

′Cause I'm goin′ down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin′ down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere
I'm goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin′ down the steps on a white line
Goin′ down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere

Follow me down
Sexual chocolate, baby
