Rock Star

Rock Star is a song that is often called "Olympia" by fans who don't know the actual name of the song. Courtney Love sings about attending school in Olympia, WA. During my junior year of college I transferred to The Evergreen State College with is located in Olympia. While I was there I learned that Nirvana had played at Evergreen many times.

Olympia, WA is a nostalgic place for me for a variety of reasons and cannot think of that place without thinking of this song.


Rock Star by Hole

When I went to school in Olympia
Well everyone's the same
What do you do with a revolution?
When I went to school in Olympia
And everyone's the same
We look the same
We talk the same

Well, don't you please make me real fuck you
Make me sick, fuck you
Make me real, fuck you

When I went to school in Olympia
Everyone's the same
And so are you, in Olympia
Everyone's the same
We look the same
We talk the same
We even fuck the same
When I went to school in Olympia

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
Do it for the kids
Do it for the kids
Do it for the kids
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it for the kids

When I went to school in Olympia
Goodbye, goodbye
