I’m not like them
I can pretend
that this sounds good
what I have in mind
“but he’s dumb.”
Well, I’m having fun.
I think I’m dumb
or maybe just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
My heart is broke
I have some glue
I’ll have a hit
I saved one for you
we’ll float around
hang out in clouds
then we’ll come down
and have a hangover,
a heaven hangover.
We’ll have a hangover,
a heaven hangover.
Steal the sound
of false sheep.
Wish and wear
the soul’s keep.
The less I earn,
the worse I *****.
Soothe the burn.
Wake me up.
I’m not like them
I can pretend
that this sounds good
what I have in mind
“but he’s dumb.”
Well, I’m having fun.
I think I’m dumb
or maybe just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
I think I’m just happy.
I think I’m dumb. (x 12)

| "YOUR" POEM WAS THE WORST RIP OFF OF NIRVANA I'VE EVER SEEN. AT LEAST TRY TO MAKE IT A LITTLE LESS OBVIOUS NEXT TIME. |

| I wasn't trying to hide anything. I never said that it was my original idea. I just took the ideas and thoughts from that song and applied them to my life. I never could understand you flamers... I bet that if you spent a year trying, you could never write something meaningful and applicable to your life that has the same tune, same rhyme scheme, and even the same sounds as the lyrics that i wrote here. This is art. It isn't my trying to take credit for someone else's work. In the world of painting, this is what you would call a found object. That is, this song already had a meaning of its own, and so when I paint over it with my own lyrics, it keeps that meaning while taking on a whole new one. Kurt Cobain's original lyrics were my found object, and I assure you that this is a tribute and not a ripoff. Of course, maybe the way that I subtly and artfully altered the lyrics to suit my purpose was too smoothly done for you to have noticed my work. In that case, i can understand completely why you would take this for a ripoff. With reverence comes mastery. With mastery comes love. With love, comes passion. With passion, comes death. Have a nice day, and a good rest of your life. Butterat Zool. |
