Pearl Jam - Grievance lyrics

Have a drink they're buying
Bottom of, bottle of denial

Big guy, big eye, watching me
Have to wonder what it sees (sin)
Progress laced with ramifications
Freedom's big plunge uh

Pull the innocent from a crowd
Raise the stakes, then bring 'em down
If they fail to obey, oh
If they fail to obey

For every tool they lend us
A loss of independence

I pledge my grievance to the flag
'Cause you don't give blood then
Take it back again
Oh, we're all deserving something more

Progress, taste it, invest it all
Champagne breakfast for everyone uh

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

Pledge your grievance to the flag
'Cause you don't give blood and
Take it back again
Oh, we're all deserving something more

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 wanna be
I will feel alive as long as I am free
