NIRVANITY by David Lefkowitz (to the melody of “All Apologies”)
What became of me? Read my diary It’s all there to see Where’s my privacy?
Courtney Love Courtney Love Made a buck Courtney Love Filthy slut She’s scary Be wary She buried me
Wanted to be rich Bigger than The Rolling Stones Joined Nirvana which spawned a hundred clones Now that greedy bitch Is feeding off my bones
I confess I was a mess In intestinal distress Well, I guess Should’ve eaten less Dairy It was very Like dysentery
All I am is money now All I am is money now
I was in hell Needed to get free So I gave myself A full lobotomy Now Courtney sells All my history Why must she be Such a twat to me?
All my thoughts All my secret, private dreams All my doodles All my pain On Amazon With my pajamas on I guess the glamour’s gone
All I am is money now All I am is money now All I am is money now All I am is money now . . .
Dave dedicates a poem to his cable TV provider.
