About

This is a typical song of the first period of Alice in Chains. At the beginning most of the band’s songs dealt with addictions (i.e., Would?; Junkhead), wicked love (i.e., Love, Hate, Love; Brother), and death (i.e., We Die Young; Rotten Apple; I Can’t Remember).

Real Thing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I messed around as a little boy
I grew up, made the blade my new toy
Friends said, "Boy, with what you screwin' around?"
I said, "Don't concern yourselves
And just give me another blast"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Under the hill, with just a few notches on my belt
Take it away, don't want no more
Even if you say, "Just one more"
I won't leave you alone, ooh

[Verse 2]
I grew up, went into rehab
You know the doctors never did me no good
They said, "Son, you're gonna be a new man"
I said, "Thank you very much
And can I borrow fifty bucks?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Under the hill, with just a few notches on my belt
Take it away, don't want no more
Even if you say, "Just one more"
I won't leave you alone

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere
Goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
I messed around as a little boy
I grew up and made the blade my new toy
Friends said, "Boy, with what you fuckin' around?"
I said, "Oh, my God, and here we go again"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Under the hill, with just a few notches on my belt
Take it away, don't want no more, no more
Even if you say, "Just one more"
I won't leave you alone

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere
I'm goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line
Goin' down the steps on a white line straight to nowhere, yeah, yeah
Ooh, wah, ooh

[Outro]
Follow me down
Sexual chocolate, baby
