Below, you will find the lyrics for Grievance by Pearl Jam.
Have a drink they're buying
Bottom of, bottle of denial
Big guy, big eye, watching me
Have to wonder what it sees
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
If they fail to obey
For every tool they lend us, a loss of independence
I pledge to my grievance to the flag
Cause you don't give blood, then take it back again
We're deserving of much 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
If they fail to obey
Pledge my grievance to the flag
Aw come on, don't give blood, then take it back again
We're all deserving something more
I want to breathe, part of the seen
I want to taste, everyone I see
I want to run, when I'm up high
I want to run to the sea
I only want life to be
I just want to be
I will feel alive as long as I am free
