Nirvana

Nirvana was an American rock band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. Founded by lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, the band went through a succession of drummers, most notably Chad Channing, before recruiting Dave Grohl in 1990. Nirvana's success popularized alternative rock, and they were often referenced as the figurehead band of Generation X. Despite a short mainstream career spanning only three years, their music maintains a popular following and continues to influence modern rock culture.

[Verse 1]
I'm so happy, 'cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday mornin' is every day for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze 'cause I've found God

And I'm not sad
And just maybe, I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure

And I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay, my will is good
