[Intro]
My cup runneth over
Like blood from a stone
[Chorus]
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I'd like to see
How you all would bleed for me
[Verse 1]
When the pig runs slower (Slower)
Let the arrow fly (Fly)
When the sin lies bolder (Bolder)
I'll pluck out thine eye (I'll pluck out thine eye)
[Chorus]
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I'd like to see
How you all would bleed for me
[Verse 2]
If you scorn my lover (Lover)
Satan got your thigh (Thigh)
If you steal in hunger (Hunger)
I will kick you when you try (When you try)
[Chorus]
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I'd like to see
How you all would bleed for me
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Ah...
All these things that you've done for me
Have left me so fucking tired, ooh
I'm not saying that you haven't done a lot of good
But if there's one thing you can do
You can bleed for me, bleed for me (Ah!)
[Chorus]
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I'd like to see
How you all would bleed for me
These stand for me
Name your god and bleed the freak
I'd like to see
How you all would bleed for me
Bleed the Freak was written by Jerry Cantrell.
Bleed the Freak was produced by Dave Jerden.
Alice in Chains released Bleed the Freak on Tue Aug 21 1990.
Jerry said in the liner notes of their 1999 box set Music Bank:
The song is us against the world, those people who put you down: “I put up with many years of you putting us down and watching us bleed, now I’d like to see you bleed some back.
