Nirvana – Imodium (Breed)

I don't care, I don't care, I care,
I care, I care, I care if I'm old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind,
I mind, I mind, a mind of my own
Get away, get away, away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind, I don't mind, I mind,
I mind, I mind, yeah...

If you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we could have a tree
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have a tree
She said, she said, she said, she said
she said, she said, she said, she said

I'm away, I'm away, away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind, I don't mind, I mind, I mind, I mind, a mind of my own
Get away, get away, away, away, away, away from your home
I don't mind, I don't mind, I mind, I mind, I mind, yeah...

Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we could have a tree
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could build a tree
She said, she said, she said, she said
she said, she said, she said, she said

Even if you have, even if you need
I don't even care, we could have a tree
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could build a tree
She said, she said, she said, she said
She said, she said, she said, she said
She said, she said, she said, she said

    General CommentAs you know, it's an early thing of 'Breed', but the title comes from waaaay back when they first started touring. I forget the name of the band they toured with....Something like Fat Something.... But the leader of the group had problems with throwing up and diarrhea and crap on their tour, so he took Imodium. Kurt just took the name of the medicine, and used it as a title.

    General CommentI love how Kurt says 'old' in Imodium.. much cooler than in Breed ;p

    imo this is one of the best Nirvana songs out there. Blandest is sick aswell.. ah whatever, I guess with most Nirvana fans, everyone's favorite song changes all the time.. they're all great.

    General CommentImodium is an opioid/opiate which can be used to edge opiate withdrawals. It can't cross the BBB (blood brain barrier) so it doesn't give you the euphoria due to the extra fluoride in its molecular structure.
