Song Notes:
An autobiographical song about the whole Nirvana experience, the 'witch hunt' on
Courtney Love, and a sarcastic response to the emphasis placed on the divorce of
Kurt's parents.
Through the lyrics Kurt delivers a very straightforward message to his father
Don Cobain: I tried hard to have a father / but instead I had a dad / I just
want you to know that I / don't hate you anymore / There is nothing I could say
/ that I haven't thought before. Kurt have explained that he just wanted his dad
to know that he didn't had anything against him anymore.
Song Lyrics:
Teenage angst has paid off well,
now I'm bored and old
Self-Appointed judges judge,
more than they have sold
If she floats than she is not,
a witch like we had thought
A down payment on another,
one at Salem's Lot
Serve the servants - Oh no (x3)
Serve the servants
That legendary divorce is such a bore
As my bones grew they did hurt,
they hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father,
but instead I had a dad
I just want you to know that I,
don't hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say,
that I haven't thought before
Serve the servants - Oh no (x3)
Serve the servants
That legendary divorce is such a bore
Serve the servants - Oh no (x6)
Serve the servants
