Kurt Cobain: Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind

"A Happiest Fifty-nine!"

Another birthday is here—today!
But you’re not here for cake
In fact, you’re not here for anything
Still, your name did headlines make

The bolded font of today’s big day
(Happiest fifty-nine!)
Said your decades-old death wasn’t all it seemed
Vital clues were left behind

This repeating history
(I’ve heard this s**t before)
The gun?! The drugs?! The blood?! The note?!
Repeated, evermore!

I do not care about those things
Though many think I should
I care about the day I heard
I can't forget where I stood
