Smells like teen spirit lyrics

[Verse 1]

Load up on guns,

bring your friends

It's fun to lose

and to pretend

She's over-bored,

myself assured

I know, I know a dirty word

[Pre-Chorus]

Hello, hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

[Chorus]

With the lights out

it's less dangerous

Here we are now,

entertain us

I feel stupid and

contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino

A mosquito, my libido

Yeah

[Verse 2]

I'm worse at what I do best

And for this gift, I feel blessed

Our little group has always been

And always will until the end

[Pre-Chorus]

Hello, hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

[Chorus]

With the lights out it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino

A mosquito, my libido

Yeah

[Verse 3]

And I forget just what it takes

And yet I guess it makes me smile

I found it hard, it's hard to find

Oh well, whatever, nevermind

[Pre-Chorus]

Hello, hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

[Bridge]

the empty hand of innocence

transfusing street of the sorrows

and children of the wood

hounded, shredding all veils

and winding all sheets of the dead world droning

overturning tables laden with silver sacrificial birds

beating goat-skin drums

advancing with hands outstretched

and we keep filling them with mercury nitrate, asbestos

baby bombs blasting blue

scavengers picking through the ashes

children of the mills, children of the junkyards

sleepy, illiterate, fuzzy little rats

haunted, paint-sniffin'

stoned out of their shaved heads

forgotten, foraging, mystical children

foul-mouthed, glassy eyed, hallucinating

[Pre-Chorus]

Hello, hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello

Hello, hello, hello, hello

Hello

[Chorus]

With the lights out it's less dangerous

Here we are now, entertain us

I feel stupid and contagious

Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino

A mosquito, my libido

Ah, la la da, ah, la la da

Ah, la la la, ah, ma la ta

An albina, a mosquito

My libido, oh, my libido

[Outro]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
