Lyrics for Song for Layne Staley

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 me crash Out here on my own now Only come out at night Only call my new friends Just tryna get straight Everybody needs a peephole in the door Everybody needs som械thing 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
