[Verse 1]
Take a step out on yourself
And you turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary

[Chorus]
So silly
It is revolting
You're not much
If you're anything!
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Take a step outside the city
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting

[Chorus]
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock

[Verse 3]
Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking?

[Bridge]
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting
It's pretty scary, totally, it's so revolting

[Verse 4]
Take a step out of the country
And you turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing

[Chorus]
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's a laugh

[Verse 5]
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

Nirvana

Nirvana was arguably the most successful act of the early 1990s grunge movement that originated in Seattle, Washington. Formed in 1987 in the neighboring city of Aberdeen, they were catapulted into the spotlight four years later with the release of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and their second studio album, September 1991’s Nevermind.

They are credited with bringing alternative rock to mainstream attention and putting a nail in the coffin of ‘80s hair metal, which was dying a slow death on the charts at that point. In early 1992, Nevermind managed to knock Michael Jackson’s Dangerous from the #1 position on the Billboard charts, cementing their place in American music history.

The band’s career was suddenly cut short in April 1994, when iconic frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead from an apparent suicide. Drummer Dave Grohl has since become a hugely successful frontman in his own right with the band Foo Fighters. Nirvana has gone on to enjoy a musical afterlife in the hearts and ears of successive generations of fans comparable to that of The Beatles and Black Sabbath.
