lyrics

Hello Mr Curtis, hello Mr Cobain
Tell me where the hurt is
Tell me exactly, now where is the pain?

Your agony, your agony, your agony
Remove me from this agony.
You’re agony, you’re agony, you’re agony
Remove me from this agony.

Hello Mr Curtis, hello Mr Cobain
You are so much braver than me
So do it again, so do it again, please do it again

Your agony, your agony, your agony
Remove me from this agony.
You’re agony, you’re agony, you’re agony
Remove me from this agony.

Hello Mr Curtis
And may we never forget
But I’ve made my decision
To die like a king
Like Elvis
On some godforsaken toilet

I hope I die before I get really old
I hope I die before I get really old.
