"Song For Layne Staley" lyrics

I was on the prowl for something good to do
Started up a rock band, wouldn't you?
Everybody needs his own space on the floor
Everybody needs something to be on guard for

I don't want this
I don't need this
I don't want this
I don't need this

I was on the TV, maybe you saw me there
I was in my designer shades, nationwide, live on the air
This is what you wanted when you were a kid
Not everybody found the pocket, but you did

I don't want this
I don't need this
I don't want this
I don't need this

I'm not gonna keep this
I'm gonna throw it into the trash
I'm gonna find a sharp turn
You're not gonna hear the crash

Out here on my own now
Only come out at night
Only call my new friends
Just trying to get straight
Everybody needs a peephole in the door
Everybody needs something to be on guard for

I don't want this
I don't need this
I don't want this
I don't need this

I don't want this
I don't need this
I don't want this
I don't need this

I don't want this
I don't need this
I don't want this
I don't need this

I don't want this
I don't need this
I don't want this
I don't need this
