Anger Rising

About Anger Rising

"Anger Rising" is a song by American hard rock musician Jerry Cantrell. It was the lead single from his 2002 solo album, Degradation Trip. Cantrell's fourth single overall, the track made its radio debut in early April 2002. The single spent 18 weeks on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and peaked at No. 10."Anger Rising" begins with a choir-like, non-lexical vocal harmony over acoustic guitar. This leads into heavy guitars with a steady beat and an aggressive, snarling chorus. Described by MTV's Joe D'Angelo as "a dysfunctional family portrait with a violent hue that revisits themes found in the Alice in Chains hit "Rooster," the song deals with domestic abuse and evokes imagery of life in a decrepit trailer park. Chris DeGarmo, formerly of Queensrÿche, makes a guest appearance playing slide guitar on "Anger Rising." DeGarmo had previously performed on tour with Cantrell in promotion of his 1998 album, Boggy Depot. He also recorded music with Mike Inez and Sean Kinney, bandmates of Cantrell, in Spys4Darwin. more »

Alabama trailer park they call home 
Boy standing at attention in the corner his own 
Terrified, scorpion crawling the wall 
By the way father, could you please beat me some more? 

Anger rising up inside him yet again 
Tell me you got a plan 
Deaf and blind I'm living with the lepers and 
You want to hold my hand 

Cold Alaska, hiding, bundled up tight 
Stretch aluminum foil 'cross the window at night 
Mother crying, calling out up the stairs 
By the way father, do you even care that I'm scared? 

Chorus 

Repeat chorus with "Devil rising up inside him yet again" 

Generation three, solitary, alone 
By the way father, created hell on my own
