Koos Kombuis Who Killed Kurt Kobain
Did you 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
(Chorus)
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 and who loaded the gun
was it me, was it you, who the hell was the one
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
