Nirvana, Adam Kasper
“If You Must” was recorded on January 23, 1988 at Nirvana’s first studio session.

[Verse 1]
I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven flight
Nurse my greed, crease infold
Is it me, or my ego?
Write some words, make them rhyme
Thesis or storyline
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude?
[Chorus]
If you want to put off an image
The extremes, the extremes

Perfecting, pressuring
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
[Verse 2]
I will wait in a phylum
To explain your asylum
I am tired analyzing
We'll compare all our sizings

[Bridge]
I speak

[Verse 1]
I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven flight
Nurse my greed, crease infold
Is it me, or my ego?
Write some words, make them rhyme
Thesis or storyline
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude?
[Chorus]
If you want to put off an image
The extremes, the extremes
Act it out, practicing
Perfecting, pressuring
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
Onto me
If You Must was written by Kurt Cobain.
If You Must was produced by Jack Endino.
Nirvana released If You Must on Tue Nov 23 2004.
