The One You Know Lyrics

I feel this is about AIC after Layne and the fact that so many so called fans state things like "no Layne, no Chains" etc. As good as Layne was, Alice in Chains are still a force and Jerry has written so many great songs in the 2 solo and AIC albums post 3 legged dog. It must disappoint Jerry to have that kind of reaction when they waited over 10 years to put out an album without Layne and have always been respectful toward Layne even though it must have been so hard to deal with his drug fueled actions. I wonder if \'Black water flows" is a reference to Will as the vocalist after Layne.

@thebaz I thought the same thing when I first heard the song. Not the one you know very well may be him referring to the fact that he isn\'t Layne. People just need to move on and get past the fact that shit happens. They\'re still a great band, with or without Layne.
