Your empathy
Inside of me
All I want
Your empathy
I want you
Inside of me
And I know
Your empathy

Baby you're so good and I'm so bad
You get everything I never had
Baby you're so big and I'm so small
You get everything
I get nothing at all

Your empathy
Inside of me
And I want you
Inside of me
But I don't want
Your sympathy
I don't need
Your sympathy

Baby you're so good and I'm so bad
You get everything I never had
Baby you're so big and I'm so small
You get everything
I get nothing at all

Pretty princess, pretty fascist
Tell your bitch to shut up, yeah
Pretty incest, pretty fascist
Tell your bitch to just shut up, yeah
Pretty incest, pretty fascist
Tell your bitch to just shut up

    There are uploads of this on YouTube, it appears to be a live recording from a show in 1993 in Portland, OR, when Hole opened for the Lemonheads. I think the song is pretty obviously about her feeling like an ancillary object in comparison to Kurt, and how they got targeted by people. She sings "Tell your bitch to just shut up" at the end, which is a direct quote from Axl Rose when he told Kurt to "tell his bitch to shut up" when they were at the VMAs the year before.
