Kurt really hated this song, which is probably why it wasn’t released. It seems that there have been some confusion between this song and Token Eastern Song.
In a letter to Dale Crover, published in Kurt Cobain’s Journals, Kurt elaborates on why he hates ’If You Must’:
“The first song on the demo is no longer played it is sickening and dumb. Destroy it it is evil. In the likes of Whitesnake and bon jovi.“
from the album “Outcesticide: In Memory of Kurt Cobain“
Lyrics
I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven plight
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?
If you want to put off an image
The extremes, the extremes
Act it out, practicing,
Perfecting, pressuring
On to me, on to me, on to me
I will wait in a phyllum
To explain your asylum
I am tired analyzing
We’ve compared all our sizings you must
I speak to hear my voice
I can read, I can write
I can breed, proven plight
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?
If you want to put off an image
The extremes, the extremes
Act it out, practicing,
Perfecting, pressuring
On to me, on to me, on to me
On to me, on to me, on to me, on to me
