[Intro]
Check, Check, Check, Check, Check

[Chorus 1]
Rape me
Rape me again
Father just
Take me
Rape me again
Someone

[Verse 1]
Since my embarrassments gone
Free, I'm not a lonely one
She, miss me than to you
He, was a nasty guest
Flame

[Chorus 2]
Rape me
Rape me again
Someone, disgrace me
Face me, and then

[Verse 2]
The weight of both of them
Has, grinded to the ground
We, owe them pay he's made
He's afraid, I'm not a self-endowed
Sick

[Verse 3]
Convention
Going to the source, inside
Intention with me
Rape me again, father knows
I'm my elite reforce
Hey, he was a nasty guest
Fall, I never was I said
Fool, falling to his this

[Bridge]
Ohhh

[Chorus 4]
Make me
Make me do it again
Save me
Save me young friend

[Verse 4]
Soon my own found recourse
Hey, I'm not a liar anymore
Say, I'm not a liar anymore (Alt: Alive anymore)
Hey, I'm not a country horse
Say, I'm not a modern man's choir (Alt: Wired)
Ohhhh, I'm not a smorgasbord
Ahh

[Chorus 5]
Hate me
You hate me again
You hate me again

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.
