"Token Eastern Song" as written by and Kurt Cobain....
I'm not gonna make you croon
Something else, something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
Suicide is something mean
I'm not gonna make you gruel
It's something else, it's something new
I'm not gonna make you through
It's something else, it's something new
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
I'm not gonna make you croon
Something sad, something blue
I'm not gonna make you scream
Suicide is something mean
I'm not gonna make it through
Something else, it's something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
In this hour, it's something mean
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Gut

Something else, something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
Suicide is something mean
I'm not gonna make you gruel
It's something else, it's something new
I'm not gonna make you through
It's something else, it's something new
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
I'm not gonna make you croon
Something sad, something blue
I'm not gonna make you scream
Suicide is something mean
I'm not gonna make it through
Something else, it's something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
In this hour, it's something mean
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Hold it in your gut, hold it your gut
Gut

2) It seems like it's about keeping a friend from hurting themself.
I'm not gonna make you cruel
Something else, something new
I'm not gonna make dream
Suicide is something mean
I'm not gonna make you cruel
Something else, something new
Hold it in your gut, yah. (x8)
I'm not gonna make you cruel
Suicide is something new
I'm not gonna make you scream
Suicide is something mean
I'm not gonna make you cruel
Something else, something new
I'm not gonna make you dream
Suicide is something mean
Hold it in your gut, yah (x8)
Nirvana kept swapping round titles of songs. consequently thwere are two of Verse Chorus Verse (One now known as Sappy) And two Token Eastern Songs (One now known as Born In A Junkyard)
<<"Born In A Junkyard" was a bootleg title likely based on a poor recording as there is no proof that he actually sang that phrase. Even to this day, many people know exactly which song is being described when this title is used because it was widely accepted/used until Chad Channing commented on the "hold it in your gut" lyric.>> (digital nirvana quote)
