Smells Like Middle-Aged Spirit

teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old 

On September 24, the Nirvana album Nevermind will celebrate its 20th anniversary. That's right, 20. Two zero.

This one goes out to all the Gen Xers who just assumed they'd burn out young, as well. How do you stick it to the man when you're the man?

(Sung to the tune of "Smells Like Teen Spirit")

Load up the trunk of my new Benz
With groceries, school clothes, and Depends
feels bad man.
I run the light and flip the bird
The kids just heard a dirty word

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no

With the lights out, sex is ageless
Here we are now, medicate us
These gas prices are outrageous
Here we are now, medicate us

Pay my house note
Go to Costco
And Home Depot
Where'd my keys go?
Yeah

I settle more and rebel less
I never did at all, I guess
Our little group grew up and then
Stayed in denial till the end

Hell no, Hell no, Hell no, Hell no
Hell no, Hell no, Hell no, Hell no
Hell no, Hell no, Hell no, Hell no
Hell no, Hell no, Hell no

Check this deck out, it's so spacious
Here we are now, medicate us
I turned teabag, I turned racist
Here we are now, medicate us

Sarah Palin
Rick Santorum
Let's invade 'em
Let's deport 'em
Yeah

(guitar hero solo)

Don't you wish you were still
dating hot chicks like thi-
HOLY SHIT IT'S KURT AND
 COURTNEY'S BABY GIRL
The holes all closed up in my lobes
My only flannel's in my robe
I cybercheat when I'm online
I didn't say that, nevermind

LOLOLOLO
LOLOLOLO
LOLOLOLO
LOLOLO

Lost my job now, wife's a waitress
Here we are now, medicate us
See my car note? I can't pay this
Here we are now, medicate us

My Cymbalta
My Lunesta
My Avandia
My Allegra

MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA
MY VIAGRA

Maybe we should be glad ol' Kurt ventilated his cranium when he did. Otherwise, he'd be playing the Chocotaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma, alongside the Moody Blues and Stone Temple Pilots every three weeks. With Sid Vicious (who would have turned 54 last week) playing backup.
