Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
Think I'll just give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Neither side is sacred
Crawling in my hole

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
But I can't give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
When I'm in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Oh

Neither side is sacred
No one wants to win
Feeling so sedated
But I just give in
Taking medication
Till our stomach's full
Feelin' so sedated
Crawling in my home

The grass is greener over here
You're the fog that keeps me clear
Re-inventing what we knew
Take the time and I'll be true
You're the reason I feel pain
Feels so good to feel again

Oh

    Kurt actually wanted to name In Utero "verse chorus verse" because he was sick of playing music of that style and was looking to change on the next album. He worked with this music for YEARS trying to get the right lyrics for it. YES it was a reject for Nevermind, but if you listen closely to Stay Away, you may hear the same guitar chords. Wrap your mind around this...listen to verse chorus verse Outtake from With the Lights Out and then listen to Aneurysm...do you hear it again? Same with Sappy. If you play guitar you will notice how close all these are, variations of the same song. Watch the unedited version of Unplugged, between Pennroyal Tea and Dumb (One of my personal favorites), you see Krist walk over and talk to Kurt. Kurt tells him "play them back to back it doesn't matter they'll edit it for TV anyway". He then turns to the audience and tells them that Krist was worried about playing them back to back because "they are the same song". Again, if you play guitar, he's right. It is only the way the chords are played that is different clean, distorted, acoustic, or speed in which played they still come down to the same thing. Kurt was famous for making the same song different. So what if the posted lyrics here don't match what some think they should be, they were different every time he tried to get that song the way he wanted it. Kurt always sang songs different when live anyway, that he keeps you guessing to this day is a tribute to his creativity and passion. Just appreciate it and quit arguing about it.
