[Verse 1]
Come out and play
Make up the rule
I know, I hope
To die from you
To some I'm dead
I'll walk from you
I know, the lie
The way to go

[Pre Chorus]
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello!

[Chorus]
I'm a liar, and I'm famous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A libido, an albino
A mulatto, a mosquito
Here we are now, entertain us
We'll feel stupid, and famous

[Post Chorus]
Yeah!
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

[Verse 2]
Come out, outside
Look up the view
I know, right now
The cloud is blue
When I'm away
Don't have a feel
Well go outside
And pray for me

[Pre Chorus]
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

[Chorus]
I'm a liar, and I'm famous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid, and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
An albino, a mulatto
A libido, a mosquito
Here we are now, entertain us
We feel stupid and famous

[Post Chorus]
Yeah!
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Come out and play
Take off your clothes
Make up the rules
I'll see you in court
And I will not embrace you
And I'll lie, the same as you

[Pre Chorus]
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello!

[Chorus]
I'm a liar and famous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid, and we're famous
Here we are now, entertain us
A libido, an albino
A mosquito, a vagina
Here we are now, entertain us
We feel stupid, and famous

[Outro]
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!
A denial!

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.
