We Die Young is a single EP by Alice in Chains. It was released in July 1990.
Jerry Cantrell on the song, from the liner notes of 1999's Music Bank box set collection: "I'd just temporarily moved in with Susan Silver because Sean and I had just had a fight. So I was riding the bus to rehearsal and I saw all these 9, 10, 11 year old kids with beepers dealing drugs. The sight of a 10 year old kid with a beeper and a cell phone dealing drugs equalled 'We Die Young' to me."
