Pearl Jam — Grievance - Live in Ljubljana Slovenia 19-June-2000

[Verse 1] Have a drink they're buying Bottom of, bottle of denial [Chorus 1] Big guy, big eye, watching me Have to wonder what it sees (Sin) Progress laced with ramifications Freedom's big plunge [Chorus 2] Pull the innocent from a crowd Raise the sticks then bring them down If they fail to obey, oh, if they fail to obey [Verse 2] For every tool they lend us A loss of independence [Chorus 3] I pledge my grievance to the flag Because you don't give blood... to take it back again Oh we're all deserving something more [Chorus 1] Progress, taste it, invest-it-all Champagne breakfast for everyone [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 3] Pledge your grievance to the flag Because you don't give blood, then take it back again Oh we're all deserving something more [Outro] 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
