(Music & Lyrics: Kurt Cobain)


What else should I be?
All apologies
What else should I say?
Everyone is gay
What else should I write?
I don't have the right
What else should I be?
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Buried

I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua Sea Foam shame
Sunburn freezer burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Married
Married
Buried
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are

Chill, light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
So while I scatter my spit, I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely 'cuz I told you so
You know, we glow because we throw sun rays
Yeah we be freaky and we wanna stay

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Lightning strikes, yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Because we're dope kid, change like a chameleon
And the channel whenever the wack show Real World is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers, on the wax we are self made
Check the technique, 311 in L.A.

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down, and
We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Listen can you hear the disaster....yeah
It's there about a quarter a mile
I just want to see you happy
I just want to see you happy

*
Falling into you, I can't afford to stay
Your late nights and voodoo
I love your evil ways
Can't sleep cause it's a long flight
and there won't be a cure tomorrow
Hang tight I'm grooving
don't you believe in anything at all

Tell me are you scared of rejection
Cause every no leaves room for a yes
And I just want to see you laughing
I just want to see you laughing

(*Repeat)


Baby I love your evil ways
Sun light, creeping through an open shade
It means a lot to me when you feel me with your eyes
There is a place for you won't you
Come and sit inside
But don't you believe in anything at all
Don't you believe in anything at all....
You just don't mind the get down
you just don't mind the pain
Everyday, everyday, everyday, yeah....

(*Repeat)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Tied to a wheel, my fingers got to feel
Bleeding through a tourniquet smile
I spin on a whim, I slide to the right
I felt you like electric light
For our love, for our fear
For our rise against the years, and years, and years

Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red

I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Deaf, dumb and thirty, starting to deserve this
Leaning on my conscience wall
Blood is like wine, unconscious all the time
If I had it all again I'd change it all

Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, yeah

I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in

Got a machinehead it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red
Better than the rest
Better than the rest
Machinehead, head, head, head, head, head

I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Nightmare!

(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged ya down below,
Down to the Devil's show,
To be his guest forever,
(Peace of mind is less than never)!

Hate to twist your mind,
But God ain't on your side,
An old acquaintance severed,
(Render of your last endeavour)!

Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air,
'cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal.

So stand in line while begging numbers in your head,
You're now a slave until the end of time,
And nothing stops the madness turning,
Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger!

You should have known, the price of evil,
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooooh it's your f***in' nightmare!
(While your nightmare comes to life)

Can't wake up in sweat,
'cause it ain't over yet,
Still dancing with your demons,
(Victim of your own creation)!

Beyond the will to fight,
Where all that's wrong is right,
Where hate don't need a reason,
(Love is self-assassination)!

You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight, and now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel.
So sedated as they medicate your brain and while ya slowly go insane the tell ya:
"Give in with your best intentions, Help ya with your complications!"

You should have known the price of evil,
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah.
No one to call,
Everybody to fear,
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah.
Ooooh, it's your f***in' nightmare, ha-ha-ha-ha!

Fight (fight),
Not to fail (fail),
Not to fall (fall),
Or you'll end up like the others.

Die (die),
Die again (die),
Drenched in sin (sin),
With no respect for another.

Death (death),
Feel the fire (fire),
Feel the hate (hate),
Your pain is what we desire.

Lost (lost),
Hit the wall (wall),
Watch you crawl (crawl),
Such a replaceable liar.

And I know you hear their voices (calling from above),
And I know they may seem real (these signals of love),
But a life's made up of choices (some without appeal),
They took for granted your soul, and it's ours now to steal
(As your nightmare comes to life)!

You should have known the price of evil,
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah.
No one to call,
Everybody to fear,
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah...
Ooooh, it's your f***in' nightmare!

Alone, listless -- breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violins -- center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it, tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head, painted room... can't deny there's something wrong

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go...
Go...
Go...

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's f***ed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

In this life I'm me,
Just sitting here alone
By the way I tried to say I'd be there
For you
Walk the silent emptiness
That leaves me by my hands
And throw away
What I don't understand, as a man

Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes
This Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
Is underestimating life

And I wonder as I tear away my skin
It's taken me so long to stitch
These wounds from where I've been
And mother please don't bury me
I'm begging for my life
It's hard to say that I will be complete
Before I die

Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes
This Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
Is underestimating life

Don't you worry please
Don't leave me
Because I'll surely slip away
To love, hate, sex, and pain
I fall away into
Love, hate, sex, and pain

Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes
This Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
Is underestimating life

Love-Hate-Sex-Pain
It's complicating me sometimes

Cowboy...Cowboy.

Well I'm packing up my game and I'm a head out west
Where real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills, chill like Flynt
Buy an old drop top, find a spot to pimp
Then I'm a Kid Rock it up and down your block
With a bottle of scotch and watch lots of crotch
Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' chillin' the most
Then rock that b**** up and down the coast
Give a toast to the sun, drink with the stars
Get thrown in the mix and tossed out of bars
Zip to Tiajuana... I wanna roam
Find Motown, tell them fools to come back home
Start an escort service, for all the right reasons
And set up a shop at the top of Four Seasons
Kid Rock and I'm the real McCoy
And I'm headin' out west sucker... because I wanna be a...

Cowboy baby
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy baby
West coast chillin' with the Boone's Wine
I wanna be a Cowboy baby
Ridin at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy baby
I can smell a pig from a mile away.

I bet you'll hear my whistle blowin when my train rolls in
It goes [whistle] like dust in the wind.

Stoned pimp, stoned freak, stoned out of my mind.

I once was lost, but now I'm just blind
Palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice
Get a map to the stars, find Heidi Fleiss
And if the price is right then I'm gonna make my bid boy
And let Cali-forn-I.A. know why they call me...

Cowboy baby
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy baby
West coast chillin' with the Boone's Wine
I wanna be a Cowboy baby
Ridin' at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy baby
I can smell a pig from a mile away.

Yeah... Kid Rock... you can call me Tex
Rollin' Sunset woman with a bottle of Becks
Seen a slimmy in a Vette, rolled down my glass
And said: "Yeah this d*** fits right in your ass"
No kiddin', gun slingin', spurs hittin' the floor
Call me Hoss, I'm the Boss, with the sauce and the whores
No remorse for the sheriff, in his eye I ain't right
I'm gonna paint his town red, then paint his wife white
Cause chaos, rock like Amadeus
Find West Coast pussy for my Detroit players
Mack like mayors, ball like Lakers
They told us to leave, but bet they can't make us
Why they wanna pick on me... lock me up and snort away my key
I ain't no G, I'm just a regular failure
I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer
Cuss like a sailor... drink like a Mick
My only words of wisdom are just "Radio Edit"
I'm flickin' my Bic up and down that coast and
Keep on truckin' till it falls in the ocean

Cowboy
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy
Spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine
Cowboy
Ridin' at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy
I can smell a pig from a mile away
Cowboy
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy
Hollywood and Vine.

Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your God

It's your decision
It's your decision

Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunned

It's your decision
It's your decision

You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside

No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

(solo)

It might seem an afterthought
Yes it hurts to know you're bought

It's your decision
It's your decision

You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside

It's your decision
It's your decision

No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

It's over

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll, a'roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take it's pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

I am done pretending,
You have failed to find what's left;
I will suck you dry again...
Some are not worth saving,
You are such a pretty mess;
I will choke the life within...

Now you want to take me down,
As if I even care;
I am the monster in your head...
And I thought you'd learn by now,
It seems you haven't yet;
I am the venom in your skin...
And now your life is broken!!

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

I am suffocating,
You have failed to pull me in;
I will drag you down again...
Life is unrelenting,
Feeding lies into my head;
I will feed the lies you live...

Now you want to take me down,
As if I even care;
I am the monster in your head...
And I thought you'd learn by now,
It seems you haven't yet;
I am the venom in your skin...
And now your life is broken!!

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

(Guitar Solo)

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care!!!
