[Verse 1]
Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands
[Hook]
He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't what it means
When I say
He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means
When I say yeah
[Verse 2]
We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom
[Hook]
[Guitar solo]

Don't what it means

Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means

About In Bloom
Cobain’s lyrics address the people outside of the underground music scene that began showing up at Nirvana shows after the release of the group’s debut album Bleach. Nirvana biographer Michael Azerrad wrote, “But remarkably, [the song’s lyrics] translated even better to the mass popularity the band enjoyed.” Regarding the song’s chorus, Azerrad commented, “The brilliant irony is that the tune is so catchy that millions of people actually do sing along to it.”
