Pearl Jam Grievance

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Have a drink they’re buying
Bottom of, bottle of denial

[Chorus 1]
Big guy,… big eye,… watching me…
Have to wonder what it sees…
(Sin…)
Progress… laced with… ramifications…
Freedom’s big plunge

[Chorus 2]
Pull the innocent from a crowd
Raise the sticks then bring them down
If they fail to obey… oh if they fail to obey

[Verse 2]
For every tool they lend us… a loss of independence

[Chorus 3]
I pledge my grievance to the flag
Because you don’t give blood… to take it back again
Oh we’re all deserving something more

[Chorus 1]
Progress,… taste it,… invest-it-all
Champagne breakfast for everyone

[Chorus 2]
Break the innocent when they’re proud…
Raise the stakes,… then bring em down…
If they fail to obey… oh if they fail to obey

[Chorus 3]
Pledge your grievance to the flag
Because you don’t give blood… then take it back again
Oh we’re all deserving something more

[Outro]
I want to breathe
Follow the scene
I want to taste
Everyone I see
I want to run when I’m up high
I want to run into the sea
I only want life…. to be…
I just want to be…
I will feel alive… as long as I am free…
