[Verse 1]
Hold me, to some attention
Degrade me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, I'm fucking cornered
Gag me, You make me barf

[Chorus]
Life's a fucking resume!
Experience, credentials, experienced, impostor!
People preaching every day!
White lies sitting inside
What do you want?

Help!

[Verse 2]
Cold, naked man, picked off his scabs, and
Fed them, to the pigeons
Help him, he's fuckin' cornered
Grade him, it may be fun!

[Chorus]
Life's a fucking resume!
Experience, credentials, experienced, impostor
People preaching every daaaay!!
White lies sitting inside
What do you--

[Post Chorus]
Hold me, I'm fucking hungry!
Help me, I'm more than hungry!
Hold me, I'm fucking hungry!
Help me, don't make it harder

[Verse 3]
Naked man, you say you saw
Sent them, out to the pigeons
Help him, he's in a corner
Hang him, you make me barf!

[Chorus]
Life's a fucking resume!
Experience, credentials, experienced, impostor!
People preaching everyday
White lies sitting inside
What do you--

[Post Chorus]
Hold me, I'm fucking hungry!
Help me, I'm more than hungry!
Hold me, I'm fucking h- aaah
Aaaaaaargh, aah

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.
