    The first line is "everything has chains" and I think "stole my t-shirt" is "spilled my tinkture" but I could be wrong. Still beautiful. Sorry to be that guy.

    No. It is "everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed".
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I referred to the lyrics on the band's official site and it says "everything has chains." So, yeah, I dunno.

    It's both and however Ed wants it to be that night. 10c site says it's "Everything has chains" but I have heard him say both live. Like I said it's whatever Mr Vedder wants it to be that night. One of my all time fav songs too. I still remember the 1st time I heard it. It was live in Fairfax VA on 4/8/1994 months before Vitalogy came out. I'll never forget it. The shows on YouTube if any one wants to check it out. It was on the night Kurt Cobain was found dead. EPIC SHOW!!!

    "Everything has chains" -the song is about being trapped/isolated

    And I supposed the line,

    "Can't buy what I want because it's peace"

    Is also written in your fancy "Official" book of lyrics.

    I stand by my original post.

    If you listen to the Hartford boot from 2013 you can clearly hear me sing, "Everything has Changed... Absolutely nothing's changed."

    Case Closed.

    Is this thread meant as a joke? It's very clearly "chains" in the studio version.

    Chains...come on people this is the band's website...

    the dudes t shirt now has been stolen? Holy shit, you're dealing with lyrics written at least 19 year ago. Before you start a thread on the band's official page about lyrics from your dad's time, read them on the official site.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.
  • Don't fault members for asking questions.

    We all listened to lyrics 19yrs ago by this band. We will never convey the message they portrayed to the new fans of Pearl Jam. None the less 10c is gaining new members and that is a great change from the old forum.

    I don't know that line but yes my fancy book official lyrics known as pearljam.com does come in handy. Anyways, case closed, right?

    What's wrong with the Habit lyrics? Aside from the obviously funny "individual who will live to see the year 2000" part I think they're spot on.

    It's a beautiful song absolutely.
    First heard it in 94 in December while I was in Milan when album came out... Means as much to me today as it did then. Just in different ways... And yeah, I got 3 kids now so I guess I'm a Dad too!!!

    What's this crap about being a new fan or asking a question?

    Saw them back in 92 and I'm not asking any questions.

    I supposed your fancy lyric book also says I know you'll be a sun in someone else's sky for the song Black.

    Star is soooo much better than Sun and Everything has Changed is better than Chains.

    What does your fancy book say about Yellow Ledbetter?

  • The studio version is chains. I can clearly hear a s at the end. That's how I interpret it at least. Live it's either or. I've heard both, or what's sounded like both. Ed also is notoriously known to change lyrics live. This could bring up the question of "What makes the correct lyrics? Is it what they recorded, or what he decides to sing at the time?" It's art, what you hear may not be what someone else hears. No need arguing or getting a bit upset if someone else interprets the lyrics differently.

    The "fancy" lyric book that is being asked about is on this website.

    Its "changed' in the studio version. What you think is an 's' sound is actually the way end pronunciates the 'g' in "changed"
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    You seem to be taking things way too personally. It's just not healthy man.
  • Its "changed' in the studio version. What you think is an 's' sound is actually the way end pronunciates the 'g' in "changed"

    Thanks for telling me what I'm hearing. I believe using your logic I could easily say It's "chains" in the studio version. What you think is a "d" is the way Ed pronunciats the "n" in chains. See how that works? It's all subjective and for the sake of argument both are correct. There is no clear cut evidence of either word. I say chains, you say changed.

    I also looked up the lyrics in the "Official" lyric book to Even Flow and I don't see this lyric:

    Never gonna vote Republican.

    I must heard him sing this line 50 times by now. I think it's time for a new "Official" lyric book
