"I hope Neil Young Doesn't Write a Song About You"


you really are a pain Kurt Cobain
you messed a lot of heads and this
leaves a tarnished stain.
you really are a pain Kurt Cobain


If I were you I wouldn't kill myselt
And look through clouds at me
If you were me would you still be here
I've survived And you have died


I didn't listen to your music much
I've heard it all before
And your death is but cliche for fools like me
But you inspired the youth
And youth needs inspiration
But maybe you just weren't up to the responsibility


Are you in heaven or in hell Kurt Cobain
Did the Lord forgive your soul;
Or did the devil feed you pain
You really are a pain, Kurt Cobain
