Cantrell, Jerry - 31/32 Lyrics






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
31/32

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

Can't get away, no hiding place
The boy hesitates, when grown he'll make the same mistakes

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

They got no home, three kids and on her own
Revenge his name, pay back all the pain

Gutshot defender, hole inside
Shell-shocked commander, are you alright?
Gutshot 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

The boy hesitates, lost his way
The boy hesitates, first and last mistakes

Gutshot defender, fill the hole
There is no commander anymore
Gutshot defender will survive, yes I
You are no pretender... no pretender

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
31/32

    it sounds like scott weiland on the background vocals

  10. E.... B....

    I understand

  11. F.... ....

    I belive it's about Jerry himself. He is reflecting on his rock star status and the impression that his parents and upbringing had on him. The theme of his own alcoholism is also present. I believe that the title is supposed to be like a measurement. Therefore it would represent coming short by a small amount.

    F.... ....

    The commander was layne. The defender was jerry. Just realized it took me 16 years to figure that out.

    I just don't know. I'm just not trying to fall into the "this song is about Layne" trap. Jerry has so much depth to his songwriting and story telling. I would agree the 2nd half of this album was heavily impacted by Layne's death. This song has a main theme of lives being wasted. I believe that the song may not be necessarily be ABOUT Layne, but heavily INSPIRED by his life and death.

    F.... ....

    Kevin McGraw nothing about this song is about Layne. Jerry has stated that the song and much of the album is his autobiography. The only songs about Layne are 'Bargain Basement Howard Hughes' and 'Pig Charmer'. The clue in Pig Charmer is 'Satan hoofs' which was Layne's nickname to Jerry. The song 'Gone' was for Randy Castillo Ozzy's drummer who was a good friend of the band and Mike Inez's long-time pal. he passed away from cancer around the time Jerry was finishing the album.
