eddie vedder "society"

it's a mistery to me
we have a Greed
with which we have agreed

you think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be Free

society, you're a crazy breed
i hope you're not lonely without me

when you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

i think i need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

society, you're a crazy breed
i hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy indeed
i hope you're not lonely without me

there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like it's starting from the top
you can't do that...

society, you're a crazy breed
i hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
i hope you're not lonely without me

society, have mercy on me
i hope you're not angry if i disagree
society, crazy indeed
i hope you're not lonely without me

eddie vedder "rise"

such is the way of the world
you can never know
just where to put all your faith
and how will it grow

gonna rise up
burning black holes in dark memories
gonna rise up
turning mistakes into gold

such is the passage of time
too fast to fold
suddenly swallowed by signs
low and behold

gonna rise up
find my direction magnetically
gonna rise up
throw down my ace in the hole

eddie vedder "guaranteed"

on bended knee is no way to be free
lifting up an empty cup i ask silently
that all my destinations will accept the one that's me
so i can breathe

circles they grow and they swallow people whole
half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul
so it goes...

don't come closer or i'll have to go
holding me like gravity are places that pull
if ever there was someone to keep me at home
it would be you...

everyone i come across in cages they bought
they think of me and my wandering
but i'm never what they thought
got my indignation but i'm pure in all my thoughts
i'm alive...

wind in my hair, i feel part of everywhere
underneath my being is a road that disappeared
late at night i hear the trees
they're singing with the dead
overhead...

leave it to me as i find a way to be
consider me a satelite for ever orbiting
i knew all the rules but the rules did not know me
guaranteed...
