Keep Away (song)

"Keep Away" is a song by American rock band Godsmack. It was released as a promotional single from their self-titled album. An acoustic version of the song was included on the band's 2004 EP, The Other Side, while a live version of it was included on Woodstock '99's album. It also appears in the final moments of "The Fly", the sixth episode of the FX television series Alien: Earth.

Chad Childers of Loudwire noted the song brought early attention to the band: "With driving guitars, a sinister sounding vocal and aggressive chorus, the song connected with listeners and the Godsmack ascension was starting to take place. The song would impact radio in June 1999 and followed a more direct trajectory up the charts". The song's writer, band member Sully Erna, described the song as being "about hope -- hope to get the bitch out of my life".
