Ive listened to the new single multiple times. I will be first to admit, I am not the best at deciphering Ed's lyrics. I am shocked that there isn't more talk of lyrics, cause this is one of the main things I love about Pearl Jam. So, with a little help from my friends.... what lyrics are you guys hearing?

I've been beaten down
I feel I'm done believing
Now the truth is coming out
What their take is...
More than a BOW
They've taken your innocence and then they throw them on a burning PILE
All along they're saying... Mind your Manners!
I caught myself believin' that I needed a GUN
and if its hard to assume, we should all use it now
Try my patience, my patience tried...
This world’s no longer....... - makes me wanna cryyyyyyy
All along they're saying... Mind your Manners! So they say!
Self-realized in that I'm physically redeemed.....
May not live another life/lie...may not solve our mystery
Right around the corner could be bigger than ourselves
We could well into the sky, or we could something else
SHREDMASTER
And there no longer saying... Mind your Manners! Always praying!
(Chorus)…
Go to heaven...THATS RIGHT how do you like it living in hell?

What does "vow" mean?

I’ve been beaten down
I feel like I don’t believe
And now the truth is coming out
What their take is
More than a vow
They’ve taken your innocence
And then they don’t want to burn and Bow wow how hey ho
All along their saying
Mind your manners
I caught myself believing
That I need a god
And if it’s hard for someone we could sure use it now
Try my patience, my patience tried
This world’s alone, that’s good enough to makes me want to Cry-y-y-y-ey-a
All along their saying
Mind your manners
Sorry to say it
Self-realized in that I’m physically redeemed
May not live another life, May not solve our mystery
Right around the corner could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky or we could something away
And all along their saying
Mind your manners
Always praying
Self-realized in that I’m physically redeemed
May not live another life, May not solve our mystery
Right around the corner could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky or we could something away

How do you like it – Living in Hell!

How do you like it – Living in Hell!

I don't hear well either, it's hard to understand lyrics sometimes, I'm trying to figure out Ole lyrics at the moment and I can't...
I've got an unfortunate feeling
i've been beaten down
i feel i don't believe and now the truth is comin' out
what they take is more than a vow
they've taken your innocence and then they go around and burn and violate it
i'm only saying
mind your manners
i caught myself believing
that i needed god
and if it's out there somewhere
we sure could use it now
trying my patience
my patience's trying
this world don't know no better
and it makes me wanna cry
i'm only saying
mind your manners
someone say it
self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
may not live another life
may not solve a mystery
right around the corner
could be bigger than ourselves
we could will it to the sky
or we could something else
MCCREADY - GOD
ya know, no one's sayin'
mind your manners
always praying
self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
may not live another life
may not solve a mystery
right around the corner
could be bigger than ourselves
we could will it to the sky
or we could something else
go to heaven
that's swell
how do you like it
living in hell
go to heaven
that's swell
how do you like it
living in hell
go to heaven
that's swell
how do you like it
living in hell

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I’ve got an unfortunate feeling…
I’ve been beaten down…
I feel left unbelieving and the truth needs coming out
What they’ll take is…
More than a vow…
They’ve taken young innocents and then they throw ‘em on a burning pile
All along they’re saying…
Mind your Manners!
I caught myself believing..
That I needed God …
And if He’s out there somewhere we sure could use him now..
Trying my patience..
My patience tried…
This world’s got nothing left in it and it and make me want to cry
All along they’re saying..
Mind your Manners!
So they say!
Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed…
May not live another life..
May not solve our mysteries…
Right around the corner..
Could be bigger than ourselves..
We could will into the sky..
Or we could something else..
Go to Heaven!
That’s swell!
How do you like it-- living in Hell?
Definitely a political song, obviously. Seems to be an attack on the ultra right wing/fundamentalist gang. I don't believe it's an attack on religion, just the way religion is being used by our politicians to marginalize our real problems and enrich the few at the expense of the many.
Ah, the replies of the enlightened. Sorry to make a comment you dont agree with.
I am just saying something that needs to be said, even if you dont like it. At least I didn't release an album single and cover to purposefully offend a good size of the population.
This song does, in fact, kick ass.
Your self-righteousness is comical.
Dumbest post in the history of the Internet. Good God, really?
So you don't think the cover with a plate, a gun, a rosary, and blood wasn't meant to attack Christianity? Sorry, I had a little fun with my opening comment because my first few reads felt like the writer found hope and then lost it again (ironically lining up to the timing of Obama's 2008 hope tour and 2012 letdown tour). I felt the blame was misplaced at Christians. Removing Christian views from the people of this country does not fix the gun problem. I would be interested in your viewpoint where it isn't an attack on Christianity. Maybe I'm wrong and misinterpreting it the meaning, but this a thread about the lyrics and thoughts.
See my post above. Am I wrong that the lyrics and art aren't pointed at Christians? I had a little fun with my comment but seriously, I'm interested in others' thoughts.
btw...I thought it was a great, witty post. It was pointed for sure, but it made my point very, very quickly. They've teamed up with the government and it has let them down. Not everyone has to agree with the politics of the band or how to resolve problems.
Based on the last three posters though I'm supposed to attack people on the board. That is acceptable.
Its simply about the abuses of religion and how turned off by it Eddie is. The cover art just speaks to the dangers of religion.
I would argue that it is really about Eddie being really pissed off that the Mayans were not correct.
I agree with you. My point was that his anger/blame is misplaced. I do have a little disagreement though with "religion" versus "Christianity". I don't find Ed to attack any other religion except for Christianity. During Here's to the State he sings about Jerry Falwell (even after the guy was dead), not a Jewish person or Islamic person.
Just to clarify, where does my ego fit into this? I make a legitimate comment and am called an idiot and have the dumbest post on the internet. Eddie campaigned for Obama because he thought he could fix the problems and had his hopes built up. It isn't working out so far and Ed's hopes seemed dashed and doesn't want to blame him but blame religion (mainly Christianity). So if everything is going great does Ed thank religion or Obama, because everything bad right now is the fault of religion apparently and not greed from Dems/Reps.

It's working out just fine. I think you're watching too much Faux News.

I'm not sure what the song's all about yet but I think there's definitely some kind of disillusionment with religion being used to control people in it.
Not what the lyrics are telling me.
