Soundgarden

My momma socks it to me
Trying to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her
'Cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy kicked me out
'Cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom
With a pair of panty hose
Check it!

My basketball coach
He done kicked me off the team
Wearing high heel sneakers
And dressing like a queen

The world's coming to an end
And I don't fucking care
I just need my limo and my orange hair
Check it!

Well people laugh at me
But I just think it's funny
'Cause I'm a big rock star so - FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU!

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
