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)
