Mother's Spinning in Her Grave (Glass Dick Jones) Lyrics
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You couldn't leave it alone
Glass cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't tame
Your need to be the dog
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
The you that's already gone
Glass cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You wouldn't leave it alone
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't tame
Your need to be the dog
Glass cuts up your hide
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
You wouldn't leave it alone
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
You couldn't leave it alone
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
Your need to be the dog
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't save
The you that's already gone
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones
You wouldn't leave it alone
Mother's spinning in her grave 'cause she can't tame
Your need to be the dog
Black mark on your soul
Burning up your life
Feed the glass dick jones

It's about the regret of his past drug useage. Jerry said that he visited a family friend, and she said that his mother would be "sping in her grave," if she knew the life that he had lead after her death. That inspired him to right this song.
Glass Dick Jones... that's a slang term for a crack pipe. The song is about his remorse for his former (or I hope, and it appears to be) Crack habit. All of this has been confirmed by Jerry on a couple different occasions.
"you couldn't leave IT alone"
Yeah, and these too:
"GLASS cuts up your HIDE" "feed the GLASS DICK JONES" (don't ask for meaning 'cause i'm clueless, but it's what he says!!! besides it's the full title of the song: "Mother Spinning In Her Grave (Glass Dick Jones)") "to be THE dog" (this is minor, but...)
sorry for the smartassness :P
yeah... WhT LytEniN added a lot of Jerry Cantrell lyrics and f*cked up most of them.. grr.
Yeah, Glass Dick is the crack pipe. Jones of course is the addicts hunger to his substance of choice.
Like most of Jerry's lyrics. Its mostly all straight forward confessional stuff. But the power of the words come from their brutal honesty.
Drugs...bad.
Actually when he says it's time to feed the glass dick jones he's talking about a "dickey" which is a glass pipe made of pyrex used for smoking methanfetamine... So you we're close but it's meth that he's talking about...not crack.
