Pearl Jam Mind Your Manners Lyrics
Mind Your Manners by Pearl Jam
I got an unfortunate feelin'
I've been beatin' down
I feel I don't believe
And now the truth is comin' out.
What they're takin' is more than a vow
They're takin' young innocence
And then they throw them on a pile a (mile) high. (in a live performance)
Along they're sayin'
Mind your manners
I caught myself believin'
That I needed god
And if it's out there somewhere
We sure could use him now
Try my patience
My patience tried
This world's alone, not dead
And that makes me wanna cry
Along they're sayin'
Mind your manners
S'all they're sayin'
Self realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve all mystery
Right around the corner could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else
And along sayin'
Mind your manners
Always prayin'
Self realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve all mystery
Right around the corner could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else
Go to heaven
That's swell
You do you like it?
Live in (Livin') hell! (you decide)
I've been beatin' down
I feel I don't believe
And now the truth is comin' out.
What they're takin' is more than a vow
They're takin' young innocence
And then they throw them on a pile a (mile) high. (in a live performance)
Along they're sayin'
Mind your manners
I caught myself believin'
That I needed god
And if it's out there somewhere
We sure could use him now
Try my patience
My patience tried
This world's alone, not dead
And that makes me wanna cry
Along they're sayin'
Mind your manners
S'all they're sayin'
Self realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve all mystery
Right around the corner could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else
And along sayin'
Mind your manners
Always prayin'
Self realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve all mystery
Right around the corner could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else
Go to heaven
That's swell
You do you like it?
Live in (Livin') hell! (you decide)
