I play the clown for you
Entertaining, absurd hue
As I watch them laugh, I'd love to
See them clap and dance to my tune
Blowing up like a red giant
Expansive, a star
And I'm coming to burn this down
And laugh my ass off
All my children sing it again and again
'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over
Amen
I act on stage up here
Toying with your own fears
Misdirection I'm so near
Simple sleight of hand, in the clear
Blowing up like a red giant
Expansive, a star
And I'm coming to burn this down
And laugh my ass off
All my children sing it again and again
'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over
Amen
Too late now, show's over
Real life is much closer
Take the make up off, you wonder
Why I look the same, only bolder
Blowing up like a red giant
Expansive, a star
And I'm coming to burn this down
And laugh my ass off
All my children, sing it again and again
'Cause a lie ain't a lie if you're winnin' 'em over
Amen

Alice in Chains è un gruppo musicale americano formatosi a Seattle nel 1987, nel pieno della scena grunge. Sebbene la loro musica presenti elementi grunge chiari, attinge anche al heavy metal e ad altre varianti del hard rock. Considerati uno dei pilastri del movimento grunge, sono noti per il loro sound oscuro e pesante, caratterizzato dalla voce roca di Layne Staley e dalle riff chitarristici di Jerry Cantrell. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Would?", "Man in the Box" e "Rooster". L'album di debutto "Facelift" (1990) ha segnato un punto di svolta per la band, raggiungendo il successo internazionale. Dopo la tragica scomparsa di Staley nel 2002, il gruppo continua ad esibirsi con William DuVall come nuovo cantante.
