Smells Like Something Real

[Intro] (piano, soft single note) [Verse 1 Male] They say he was angry But anger is not anger Anger is just a scream When you cant cry So he buried his face in the speakers Let the distortion speak for him [Verse 2 Male] It reminds me of myself Fifteen, guitar, fury We were the same in Liverpool Three chords and a curse Against the whole world [Chorus Male] But hes gone Like all the truly angry ones Right when the world started to love him Right when it was realest Thats the joke of fame It kills what it claims to love [Bridge Male] You know whats sad? The world suddenly loved him The moment he stopped Thats the trick of it all Fame never loves the living Only the ghost [Verse 3 Male] Kurt, you dont need to be remembered You just needed one song One song, nothing more Let the fifteen-year-olds Stay angry Stay real [Chorus Male] But hes gone Like all the truly angry ones Right when it was realest That's the joke of fame It kills what it claims to love [Outro] (guitar fades like a sigh) All you need is not love All you need is real
