Click 3:39 | Support #ForcedEntry #NeverAKnowButTheNo #AliceInChains The similarly somewhat radio-friendly and also music video recipient groove machine "Never A Know, But The No" features a principle droning riff that sounds like it would later be borrowed by Jerry Cantrell for Alice In Chains' "Heaven Beside You", while the generally acoustic atmosphere of the verse segment and lead breaks has all the hallmarks of Pantera's occasional stints into ballad territory, albeit minus the shoddy vocals and with a greater degree of technical guitar work to cut away any monotony, at times getting to the point where Brad Hull seems to be preempting Jon Petrucci's ascendancy as a guitar god a year later with Images And Words.

Lyrics
Staring blankly in reclusion
Heaving crippled sigh, disillusioned
I saw the look inside your eyes
Tried to smile with dignity
Filled my head with useless lies
Incapable of humanity
I'd look up to you
With pride & respect
Then turn away reflecting pain
Breeding contempt
I hear you laughing in your head
When you are right & I am wrong
Degradation never ceased
I've suffered so long...
What have I done
To deserve this?
It doesn't matter
For society will pay
