Pen Cap Chew

There was a longer version, it is mentioned in kurt cobain's jurnals (worth buying btw), and the lyrics according the his writings are:-

oh lesser god, oh loathe me oh lesser god, oh you're lonely oh lesser god, oh bore me oh lesseer god, oj

you get you get you get, you get to me holy is the time, it's such an easy way to go you get you get you get, you get to be hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail

oh lesser god, oh loathe me oh lesser god, oh lonely oh lesser god, oh loathe me oh lesser god, oh lonely

waste your time by saving worthless gullibles kill a politician and then wear his clothes this decade is the age of re-hashing protest and then go to jail for tresspassing go home (x4)

(verse not included)

can you see the reason for my entropy is there something wrong without society has your conscience got to you for building trends is that why unnoticing you eat your pens? go home (x8)

It's on page 57 of my version of "Journals" if you have it, very useful for cleareing up lyrics

Pen Cap chew--has your conscience got to you for building trends, is that why unnoticing you eat your pens. once again about the human condition. People pick up habits (trends) from other people. Thats why those who realize that they can control/manipulate people are good at advertising and creating clothing styles. People are so....retarded. We wear stuff cause people say it's cool. I'm not sure what the lesser God he is talking about, does anyone know? It could be a number of things. Kurt was always an independent thinker and a rebel. He just wants to be set apart from society. In the early 90's there was alot of protest and riots, thus "this is the decade for rehashing, protest then go to jail for tresspassing" and "kill a politician then wear his clothes".

yeah, I agree with everyone who says it's "kill a politician and then wear his clothes... like even before I saw the lyrics, its sounds too much like that.. but I could see how they made the mistake.

i think it could be about stress. coz lotsa ppl (like me) chew their pens or whatever they can find when their stressed, it could also be about him being stressed about having to write another song and hes chewing his pen cap coz hes fustrated

I don't have this song, but it's the only one with zero replies and I just took any chance of anyone else being first. Win.

The lyrics are defenatly wrong. The verse is -

"Ooooo lesser god oooooo I"

And the 2nd chorus is -

"Waste your time by saving worthless gullibles, Kill a politician and then wear his clothes, This decade is the age of rehashing, Protest and then go to jail for tresspassing".

The "Two minutes slow...slow...slow...oh" part is correct though.

i think the song is about a bad relationship with someting but thats just my opinion

Nirvana was once called Pen Cap Chew in their early days. This song is awesome, I love it.

gulp gulp Oh, lies again (alt. lesser god) Oh, lies (alt. less)

You get, you get, you get, you get to me Holy is the time its such an easy way to go You get you get you get you get to be Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail

Oh, lies again (alt. lesser god) Oh, lies (alt. less) Oh, your lonely

Waste your time by saving worthless gullables Kill a politician and then wear his clothes This decade is the age of re-hashing Protest and then go to jail for trespassing Throw me inside

Oh

I heard that there was a longer version to this song, that it fades away because they ran out of tape.
