Verse 1

We were young in the days of grunge

 When the music came from pain

We smoked cigarettes at lunch

 And dressed like Kurt Cobain

Manic depression was in style

 And so was heroin

My friends and me we had apathy

 In the good ole days of grunge

Verse 2

Sally Dutch didn't talk much

She hated her middle name

But your shoulder would get punched

If you took the lord's name in vain

Her father was an evil man

That should have gone to jail

He'd say “Jezebel don't you ever tell

God's little whores go to hell”

Verse 3

Stuart McCann was a ladies man

So he wanted us to believe

We would see him hand in hand

With a new girlfriend each week

His father was a broken soul

And his mother a hateful hag

Poor old Stu would come unglued

If you called him a fag

Verse 4

Lucy Potter the preacher's daughter

Was daddy's little girl

Righteously raised in a cave

And sheltered from the world

Jocks and preps and dumb rednecks

Would tease her on a dare

She thought babies came from storks and claimed

A blowjob was drying your hair

Verse 5

Dirty Russ was an ugly cuss

He didn't bathe or brush his teeth

You couldn't be around him 'cause

He made it hard to breathe

Everyone made fun of him

But little did they know

He lived in a van with his old man

Who drank up all the dough

Verse 6

Well I guess we got depressed

In April of '94

Some heroes fall some heroes die

Some ain't heroes no more

Now that I think about my friends

I don't know who's dead or alive

'Cause I never saw a one at all

Since May of '95
