Hey hey my my rock 'n' roll will never diejust hang your hair down in your eyesyou'll make a million dollars.well i was in this band goin' nowhere fastwe sent out demos but everybody passedso one day we finally took the plungemoved out to seattle to play some grunge.washington state that is.space needle ...eddie vedder ...mud 'n' honey!now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirtswe turn our amps up until it hurtswe got bad attitudes and what's morewhen we play we stare straight down at the floor wow-eepretty scary.how pensive ...how totally alternative.now to fit in on the seattle scenewe gotta do somethin' they ain't never seen.so thinkin' up a gimmick one daywe decided to be the only band that wouldn't play -- a note.under any circumstances.silence ...music's original alternative.roots grunge...well we spread the word through the undergroundthat we were the hottest new thing in town.the record guy came out to see us one dayand just like always we didn't play; it knocked him out.he said he loved our work.he said he loved our work but he wasn't sure if he could sell a recordwith nothin' on it.i said tell 'em we're from seattle.he advanced us two-and-a-half million dollars.hey hey my my rock 'n' roll will never diehang your hair down in your eyesyou'll make a million dollars.well they made us do a video but that wasn't tough'cause we just filmed ourselves smashin' stuff.it was kinda weird 'cause there was no musicbut mtv said they'd love to use it.the kids went wild the kids went nutsrolling stone gave us a five-star review; said we played with guts.we were scorin' chicks takin' drugsthen we got asked to play mtv unplugged; you shoulda seen it.we went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions of theelectrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place.then we smashed our shit.well we blew 'em away at the grammy showby refusin' to play and refusin' to go.and then just when we thought fame would last foreveralong come this band that wasn't even together.now that's alternative ...hell that's alternative to alternative.i feel stupid ...and contagious.well our band got dropped and that ain't funny'cause we're all hooked on drugs but we're outta moneyso the other day i called up the bandi said "boys i've taken all i can"shave off your goatees pack the van..."we're goin' back toathens."
