Who Killed Kurt Cobain?

Did they know when they told you
The passion was gone
Did you show them the way
Rock and roll should be born

Did you leave us with nothing
But one single tune
I don't mind that you're gone
But it happened so soon

The spirit smelled good
But the purpose was pain
The walk in the wood became a walk in the rain

Were you here to be Jesus
Whom did you entertain
And would you care to explain who killed Kurt Cobain?

Did you see who was there
When you turned on the light
Was it a fan or a neighbour
That shot you that night

Who held the barrel
Who loaded the gun
Was it me, was it you, who the hell was the one

The spirit smelled good
But the purpose was pain
The walk in the wood became a walk in the rain

Were you here to be Jesus
Whom did you entertain
And would you care to explain who killed Kurt Cobain?

Was it drugs, was it horror
Was it sheer loneliness
Was it money or sex
Were you tired of being famous

Were you scarred by the limelight
Hurt by the sun
As it shone on the needle
When the day's work was done

Could it be that we've waited
For 30 odd years
For a man like John Lennon
Just to lose him like this

True wisdom is rare
So few heroes around
And I'm so tired of waiting with my feet on the ground

The spirit smelled good
But the purpose was pain
The walk in the wood became a walk in the rain

Were you here to be Jesus
Whom did you entertain
And would you care to explain who killed Kurt Cobain?
