It Really is a Song Title

So for some reason when I tell people we just moved to Olympia, Washington, their first response is increasingly referring to some song that someone like Courtney Love did about this place.

Well yes - it's true. Courtney Love made up some lyrics about this place - although I'm pretty sure she never really did go to school here. Her late husband lived here for a while and I think that's gotta be what started the indie hipster scene here.

Anyhow, we like it here - no matter what Courtney Love said about it. I will give her this - all the "different" kids are really all the same the more they try to be different.

I found the lyrics to that song. It really does exist and isn't half bad.

When i went to school in Olympia and everyone's the same
And so are you in Olympia and everyone's the same
We look the same, we talk the same
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Won't you please make me real oh no
Make me real oh no
Make me real oh no
Hurt me
I went to school with Calvin
Hey, hey, hey, hey
And what do you do with a revolution
I went to school in Olympia
Baby, baby, baby, baby
And everyone's the same
And so are you in Olympia
Won't you please make me real, make me sick
Make me real, make it stick
Make me real
Do it for the kids some more
Fascist sexists
I went to school in Olympia
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
