Nirvana - Pay To Play Lyrics

I need dope?

They Still everything make you pay for everything,

Cause the pain for free make you pay to alleviate. #Capitalism

Jeremy Cornwell what are u talking about lol

the death screams at the end made it so much better than Stay Away

It is my favorite song.

Music. You have to pay to do your job. You want gear? Pay up. You wanna distribute your music? Pay up. You wanna play shows? Pay up or bring 40 non-existent fans to the show. Don't forget gas money. You wanna get paid? Pay me.

This sounds like stay away just say pay to play

Yeah it's an early version of stay away. They ended up just changing the lyrics when they put the song on Nevermind.

Stand up for Nintendo Online national anthem.

Y'all know what this song is about right? Radio station corruption. There's no way this could have been released on a major label back then. Major respect to Nirvana for trying.

Stay to play
Stay to pay
Edit:
Pay to stay
Play to stay

I thought it was Slay Today?

I thought it was gay away

Wow nirvana really liked EA so much they made a song about them.

Habituated Abnormality No, it's about Star Wars Battlefront II

It's about Nintendo Switch Online.

no its about all EA

0:58 fuck you're ass for the fun LoL

was this on the Rarities compliation album?

When I was a kid and you had to go to a store to order rare cds, I waited like 6 weeks for DGC RARITIES to show up cause it had Pay to Play. And then it's exactly like stay away with a few dif lyrics...so went the search for awesome music in the early 90s.

yeah but the songs on that CD, holee shit.

I remember SOAD's "Toxicity." I waited outside On-Cue and finally got it. We got pretty fucked up and were goofing at the line notes. Then he dropped me off at the dentist, and while sitting in the lobby, I saw the first plane strike the first tower. This was the first song that popped into my head.

Ah, music stores... Such a shame they're disappearing!

Poor guy-a shame he couldn't keep himself away from controlling feminist women as they ultimately caused his demise, but I suppose his desperate need for security and to be understood meant he was a sucker for determined, powerful women who really pursued him like Courtney Love. He didn't realise till too late that these women always had their own agendas and that the perfect family life he'd always wanted wasn't going to just materialise out of nowhere. When he realised that the only thing stabilising him in the midst of his drug addiction and unwanted stardom was gone, after hearing of Courtney's infidelities, there wasn't anything holding him back from the brink any more and he killed himself.

Fucking spot on man

You must have some serious deep seeded issues with women to type this out...You have mommy issues dude? You're a whack job

Devin Archmere To bad I'm a dude genius lol

Devin Archmere You know the singer of the band's music you just commented on was a HUGE feminist? He would also say similar things in regards to sad bois with Mom issues...Are you the type of person who accuses girls of Daddy issues when they won't sleep with you?

what drug are you on, OP?

first time hearing this, even though i know all the lyrics to stay away

the bass kicks ass, it always gets me hyped!

just playing the root note of each chord of Kurts progression , simple but effective

Try some Foo Fighters...never get me nearly as amped, but Grohl's more of a delicacy.

all these people talking about this political bs, how Trump couldve used it, no he couldn't, cause I garuntee Kurt never would endorse Trump. just sit down and enjoy the demo version of Stay Away and quit with all this political bs

@NFL NBA i totally agree

Maybe he would be grown up these days

What people? Cobain never said a single word about Donald Trump (though he probably would have, today.)

You can’t say that for sure you fucking idiot how can you guarantee that

@Dapper Turtle Have you ever read or heard about Kurt Cobain's political views?

This song could have been used at Trump rallies to describe how he uses non-profit orgs ? Thanks, Trump-suckers, do svidanya.

mike hoont Or Bernie Sanders

afternoon platonics neurotics antipsychotics or Trump on a 6th sense

din or dine

I searched "Pay to Play" w/ out nirvana at the end and obama and clinton showed up bye

Nirvana forever!!!

It would be funny if David Geffen forced them to change the name of this one.

I'm starting to like this one more

TF2 TF2 TF2 TF2

lol Keynote Company

PAAAAAY TO PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY PAAAAY TO PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY PAY TO PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Oh, hell yea!!!!!!

love this early version of stay away, with different things changed in the song of the final version. always thought pay to play sounded better.

+Jamie Warrior Warlord McCallum Suppose I could be wrong, but was always under the belief that this is a later version of stay away.

As far as I know this is early version of the song

They recorded “Pay to Play” in April 1990 at Smart Studios in Wisconsin, while on tour for Bleach. Chad was their drummer by that time and Nevermind was still a dream.

stay away ? .. good version cx

@Heli Breaux Is on with the lights out, nirvana fans know it :)

its a demo of stay away basically

I kinda really like this song!!!

yeah,...

Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Neville Longbottom HAHAHAHA I die xD

Now drop it, troll.

You shouldn't talk about your mother like that.

You just made 10 "bucks" from your prostitution business

10 bucks says you had to look that up.
I just made 10 bucks ;)

DGC Rarities, vol 1

Although its quite a rarity. ;)

Alright brainiac.. name the original album that the "pay to play" version came from.

yeah that guitar is obviously the epiphone 270 he loved so much that thing sounded so awesome when distorted.plus it just sounds like really hot single coils

so you love stay away

I LOVE THIS song its a good fucken song!!!!

frances bean cobain thx honey
