    But because Im so nice today I'll give them to you anyway :)

    He's got a big gold ring which says "Jesus Saves"
    And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day,
    Where he smashed a metal locker where he kept his things
    After the big boss said you'd best be on your way

    Oh yeah...
    So this life is sacrifice
    Oh yeah...
    Jumping trains just to survive

    Well his wife and kids' asleep but he's still awake
    On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid
    Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
    Thinkin if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream

    Yeah...
    So this life is sacrifice
    Oh yeah...
    To a stranger's bottom line
    Oh yeah...
    I've seen the light
    Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
    I'm scared of life
    Near to death
    Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
    I've seen the light
    Scared of life

    Yeah...
    So this life is sacrifice
    Oh yeah...
    Was a dream that had to die
    Oh yeah...
    I've seen the light
    Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
    And I'm scared of life
    Near to death
    Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
    I've seen the light
    Scared of life
    Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohhhhhh Ohhh..
    And I'm near to death
    Here to die
    Scared of life
    Near to death
    Here to die
    Scared of life...

    You can download it from Itunes or Yahoo music but if you don't own a credit card you might have som troubles getting it. I got it from someone who provided me a link but i won't post it here. I might get banned then.

    And this is my 100 post WOOHOOOOOOO, MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, PEARL JAM IS GREAT AND KICK THE HELL OUT OF THAT BUSH GUY!!! :D:D

    I thought it's "scared alive" in place of "Scared of life"
    If you keep yourself as the final arbiter you will be less susceptible to infection from cultural illusion.

    At first I thought it was "So his wife he sacrifies" hehe gave me a good laugh.

    pretty good song... my local radio station just played it. that's sonic 102.9 in edmonton. yes indeed, just over a month..
  • funkyfoodfunkyfood Posts: 9
    wow, these lyrics are brilliant

    who says eddie's lost his touch?
  • spnkrispnkri Posts: 137
    No offense to Pearl Jam, but those are some pretty awful lyrics. They sound like they were written by a band influenced by Nickelback songs. The song itself sounds great, though, one of my favorites I've heard from the new album so far. Good thing some of the lyrics are difficult to understand.
  • NewZealandJamFanNewZealandJamFan Posts: 216
    I think the lyrics are pretty solid. They're not quite "This is how you remind me of what I really am" .....
    Its been 8 years, but I still believe...PJ in NZ 06!

    I can see what you mean. These lyrics don't compare to:
    "Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it all right but not right now."
    That is pure brilliance. Chad Kroger or whatever the hell is a God in the world of lyrics. I think he should make a book of poems. It would be sooooo good...























    ...for me to poop on!
