Pen Cap Chew Lyrics
[Chorus]
Oh, lesser god
Oh, loathe me
Oh, lesser god
Oh, you’re lonely
Oh, lesser god
Oh, bore me
Oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
You get, you get, you get
You get to me
Holy is the time, it’s such an easy way to go
You get, you get, you get
You get to me
Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail
[Chorus]
Oh, lesser god
Oh, loathe me
Oh, lesser god
Oh, you’re lonely
Oh, lesser god
Oh, loathe me
Oh, lesser god
Oh, you’re lonely
Oh, lesser god
Oh, loathe me
Oh, lesser god
Oh, you’re lonely
Oh, lesser god
Oh, bore me
Oh
Oh
[Verse 1]
You get, you get, you get
You get to me
Holy is the time, it’s such an easy way to go
You get, you get, you get
You get to me
Hide the struggle in the skin under a fingernail
[Chorus]
Oh, lesser god
Oh, loathe me
Oh, lesser god
Oh, you’re lonely
Oh, lesser god
Oh, loathe me
Oh, lesser god
Oh, you’re lonely
[Verse 2]
Waste your time by saving worthless gullibles
Kill a politician and then wear his clothes
This decade is the age of re-hashing
Protest and then go to jail for trespassing
To me it’s
[Outro]
Go
Home
Go
Home
Waste your time by saving worthless gullibles
Kill a politician and then wear his clothes
This decade is the age of re-hashing
Protest and then go to jail for trespassing
To me it’s
[Outro]
Go
Home
Go

Genius Annotation
“Pen Cap Chew” was one of the original band names for Nirvana. The eponymous song was recorded on January 23, 1988 at Nirvana’s first studio session.
This was the last song to be recorded at said session, with the band running out of tape during the recording, so a fade out was added to the song. Lyrics were written for another verse, but the band didn’t reach that point in the song while recording.
