Song lyrics Grievance by Pearl Jam

have a drink they´re buying
bottom of, bottle of denial
big guy, big eye, watchin me
have to wonder what it sees
(sin...)
progress laced with ramifications
freedom´s big plunge
pull the innocent from a crowd
raise the sticks 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
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
aw c´mon, don´t give blood then take it back again
oh we´re all deserving something more
(have a, have a, drink, drink...)
(have a, have a, drink, drink...)
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 want to be...
i will feel alive as long as i am free...
