Patti Smith — Smells Like Teen Spirit

[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
