[Verse 1]
Don't you, don't you wanna thrill me?
Don't you be afraid to tell me
Tell me if you think it's ugly
But don't you want to touch it anyway?
Now, I've been looking for a reject
And you ain't had nothing like me yet
So don't you think it's time for motion
I can take what you've been pushing, uh

[Chorus]
Hey, I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!
Fuck You!
Yeah, I know what to do
I'm going to fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!
Fuck You!
I'm gonna
Gonna

[Verse 2]
I'm the beast and you're the master
You're the meat of the matter
I'm no fool for discretion
When it's on the tip of my tongue
Don't you, don't you wanna thrill me?
Don't you be afraid to tell me
Tell me if you think it's ugly
But now don't you wanna touch it anyway?

[Chorus]
Hey, I know what to do
I'm going to fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!
Fuck You!
Yeah, I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!
Fuck you!
I'm gonna
Gonna
F-f-f-f-fuck you!

[Outro]
Yeah, I know what to do
(know what to do!)
Yeah, I know what to do
I'm going to fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!
Yeah, I know what to do
I'm going to fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!
Gonna
Gonna
Gonna!
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.
