Hole Lyrics
Well I went to school, oh
Well I went to school, ha ha
Well I went to school in Olympia
Everyone's the same
What do you do
With a revolution?
When I went to school in Olympia, ya, ya, ya
And everyone's the same
We look the same
Yeah
Don't you please
Make me real, fuck you
Make me sick, fuck you
Make me real, fuck you
Well I went to school in Olympia
Everyone's the same
And so are you, in Olympia, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Everyone's the same
We look the same
We talk the same yeah
We even fuck the same
Well I went to school in Olympia, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Don't you please
Make me real, come on
Make me sick, come on
Make me real, yeah yeah yeah
Do it for the kids, yeah
Do it for the kids, yeah
Do it for the kids, yeah
Do it for the kids, yeah
Do it do it do it do it do it
For the kids
No we're not done
Well I went to school in Olympia
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

A song entitled "Rock Star" was originally slated to close the album, but a last-minute decision was made to replace the track with "Olympia." Since the artwork had already been printed, however, the title of "Rock Star" remained and was also used for further releases. The purported reason for the song replacement was concern about the lyric "a barrel of laughs to be Nirvana, you'd rather die." To those not aware that Live Through This was completed before Cobain's death Read Full BioA song entitled "Rock Star" was originally slated to close the album, but a last-minute decision was made to replace the track with "Olympia." Since the artwork had already been printed, however, the title of "Rock Star" remained and was also used for further releases. The purported reason for the song replacement was concern about the lyric "a barrel of laughs to be Nirvana, you'd rather die." To those not aware that Live Through This was completed before Cobain's death, the lyric could be potentially misconstrued as a reference made in poor taste regarding the discovery of Cobain's body.
Nonetheless, the actual song that closes the album, "Olympia" (under the title "Rock Star"), criticizes the riot grrrl music scene in the Pacific Northwest, which Love was associated but not involved with, and has been described as "a rollicking, good-humored fuck-you to Olympia hipsters."[3] Love had been vocal about her criticism of the riot grrrl movement, calling the musicians "imperious", and pointing out their particular form of feminist politics: "The whole riot grrl thing is so... well, for one thing, the Women's Studies department at Evergreen State College, where a lot of these bands come from, is notorious for being one of the worst programs in the country. It's man-hating, and it doesn't produce intelligent people in that field."[33] Alternate mixes of the song that later were released as b-sides included even more satirical lyrics, such as:
"Well, I went to school in Olympia, and everyone's the same
And what do you do with a revolution?
You just forget your name
Well, I went to school in a fascist state and everyone's the same
We took punk rock, and we got a grade."
