Token Eastern Song Lyrics

I'm not gonna let you through
You may decide it's not that good
I'm not gonna let you free
You may decide on stopping me
I'm not gonna let you through
You may decide it's nothing new
I'm not gonna let you through
You may decide there's nothing there

Hold it in your gut (8x)

I'm not gonna let you through
You may decide it's nothing new
I'm not gonna let you leave
You may decide it's not for me
I'm not gonna let you through
You may decide it's nothing new
I'm not gonna let you leave
You may decide on stopping me

Hold it in you gut (8x)

1) This song is actually called "Token Eastern Song"

This song does sound like he's trying to keep someone from hurting themselves.

Yeah, I don't know why I put "Born In A Junkyard", I think I was really tired that night. The song is one of my favorite nirvana songs.

An error occured.

An error occured.

nevrmind, i listened to it again, and yea he does sing hold it in your gut

An error occured.

I really can't hear "you may decide it's not that good." It sounds like "something else, something new" to me. Maybe I'm just deaf/crazy.

imilkjesussnipples: The song you're thinking of is actually calles Born In A Junkyard.

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)

An error occured.

I don't think so. Chad already comfirmed that Kurt never sang "born in a junkyard" in this song, not even in live performances. That is just a bootography misable.
<<"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)

An error occured.

It was once thought that those were two different songs, but now it is proved that it isn't true
