Cover art for We Die Young lyrics by Alice in Chains

altho i believe this is about violence and murder/death at an early age, i think 9-10yrs is pushing it. ALOT. drugs or drug wars also seem to be a part of it: "Take another hit And bury your brother" Seems to be that no matter how many people die, or how close they are to you, it seems worth it for that hit.
