Lyrics
From Kurt Cobain's Journals
Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
Think I'll just give in
Takin medication till our stomach's full
Wouldn't wanna fake it if I had a soul
The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again
Have to wonder why I'm green
I have to puke ya out of me
Maybe when I'm younger I'll refuse to grow
Injecting nutrition progress moves too slow
Maybe when i'm older I'll hold my stomach in
Maybe when I'm ready we could try again
1990.11.25 - Seattle, WA
Wouldn't wanna fake it even if I try
Feelin' so sedated even if I'm high
Takin' medications till my stomach's full
Wouldn't wanna fake it, burnin' in my hole
See the sunbeams in his hands
See him comin' I'm not scared
See the latter every new
Keep it comin', What did you do
Grass is greener over here
Nothin' to tell you I don't care
Wouldn't wanna fake it if I have much time
Feelin' so sedated even If I'm high
Takin' medications 'til my stomach's full
Wouldn't wanna fake it drownin' in my hole
See the sunbeams in his hands
[Audience member: Slam dancers and what's with the P.A.?]
See the latter nothin' new
Keep it comin' wouldn't you
Grass is greener over here
Nothin' to tell you I don't care
Wouldn't wanna fake it even if I try
Feelin' so sedated runnin' and I hide
Takin' medications 'til my stomach's full
Wouldn't wanna fake it goin' in my hole
See the sunbeams in his hand
Keep it comin' I don't care
He is dyin' why aren't you
See the sunbeam it is you
Grass is greener over here
Nothin' to tell you I don't care
