Red Or Blue Pill? Life In The Matrix…
(Reimagined Tribute to Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana)

Original written by: Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, & Kurt Cobain

*Beautiful original by Nirvana, phenomenal parody by Weird Al, and awesome covers by Jeris Johnson, Adam Christopher, & Malia J!!!!

**I know that Agent Smith is the one who chases Neo around in The Matrix, but for the sake of this song, I much preferred the idea of Neo being chased around by the memory of his former blue pill existence as ‘Mr. Anderson’ every time Agent Smith condescendingly spews that line out during their dialogues (hence, my line in this song about the ‘Mr. Anderson’s’ being so fast)!

Lyrics:

Connect your minds
The machines are here
Waiting at your beck and call
With all the information
They play so dumb
I’m sure it’s fun
They’ll grow and show
Us who we were and are
Like Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo

Are we becoming sentinels, from the Matrix?
Red or blue pill? Always drug-seeking
When in doubt trust, in Morpheus
What is real here?
Trinity’s judgment

When you need to
Disconnect from your phone
Live in the real world
Meet an Oracle
We keep running from, Mr. Andersons
We can’t help it; they’re really fast
Think Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo,

Are we becoming sentinels, from the Matrix?
Red or blue pill? Always drug-seeking
When in doubt trust, in Morpheus
What is real here?
Trinity’s judgment

When you need to
Disconnect from your phone
Live in the real world
Meet an Oracle
I found out how
They take our names
We give them up
Eager, in piles
Poor Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo, Neo
Neo, Neo, Neo:

Are we becoming sentinels, from the Matrix?
Red or blue pill? Always drug-seeking
When in doubt trust, in Morpheus
What is real here?
Trinity’s judgment

Will we aspire?
So we perspire?
Until we expire?
A thin wire...
Will we aspire ?
Til’ we perspire?
Until we expire?
Such a thin wire...
Thin wire...
Thin wire...
Thin wire...
Thin wire...
Thin wire...
Thin wire...
Thin wire...
