LYRICS:

1ST VERSE 
Load up on guns 
bring your friends
It's fun to lose 
and to pretend
She's overboard 
and self-assured
Oh no I know a dirty word

PRE CHORUS
Hello hello hello how low
Hello hello hello how low
Hello hello hello how low
Hello hello hello how low
With the lights
CHORUS
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 . Hey    Yay

2ND VERSE
I'm worse at what
I do best
and for this gift
I feel blessed
Out little group has always been
and always will until the end

3RD VERSE
And I forget 
just why I taste 
Oh yeah I guess
it makes me smile
I found it hard 
it's hard to find
Oh well
whatever
never mind

A denial
a denial
a denial
a denial
a denial
a denial
a denial
a denial
a deniall

THATS IT!  

R.I.P. Kurt, Your my biggest inspiration
