PEARL JAM - YIELD - 1997

1) BRAIN OF J.
Who's got the brain of JFK? 
What's it mean to us now?…yeah 
Oh, it's sound insurance 
But I can tell you, this is no lie 

The whole world will be different soon       
The whole world will be relieving               {2X} 

You, you've been taught 
We'd been the same, now they got you in line 
Stand behind the stripes 
There will be order, so give it a good mind 

The whole world will be different soon 
The whole world will be relieving               {2X} 

And by name 
The name they gave me 
The name I'm letting go

The whole world will be different soon 
The whole world will be relieving               {3X} 
The whole world will be different soon, soon
2) FAITHFULL
Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here 
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around 
Or been stepped on 
Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers 
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise 
I'm through with screaming 

And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes 
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes 
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it       {4X} 

And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes  {2X} 
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it       {3X} 
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it

M.Y.T.H. is…
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear 
We never listen 
Voice inside so drowned out 
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing 
And everything is you 
Me you, you me, it's all related 
What's a boy to do? 
Just be darling and I will be too 
Faithful to you

3) NO WAY
Here's a token of my openness 
Of my need to not disappear 
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me 
I found my mind too clear 
I just need someone to be there for.. me 
I just want someone to be there for.. me 

All the static in my attic-a 
Shoots down my side nerve 
To the ocean of my platitudes 
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd 
I just need someone to be there for.. 
I just want someone to be there for.. 
Someone to be there for.. 

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference 
I'm not trying to make a difference 
I'll stop trying to make a difference 
No way                                  {2X} 

Ooh, let's call in an angel                     {3X} 

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference 
I'm not trying to make a difference 
I'll stop trying to make a difference 
No way 
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference 
I’m not trying to make a difference 
I’m not trying to make a difference 
No way 
No way, no way 
Let's call in an angel 
Who's calling an angel?

5) GIVEN TO FLY
He could’ve tuned in, tuned in 
But he tuned out 
A bad time, nothing could save him 
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out 
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles 
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree 
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee 

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw 
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now" 
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh 

He's.. flying 
Whole…
High.. wide, oh 

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share 
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere 
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed 
By faceless men, well, fuckers 
He still stands 

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away 
The love he receives is the love that is saved 
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky 
A human being that was given to fly 

High.. flying 	Oh, oh 
High.. flying 	Oh, oh
He’s…flying	Oh, oh

6) WISHLIST
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off 
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on 
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on 
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top 
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds 
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky 

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me 
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me 
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good 
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood 

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun 
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on 
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on 
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down 

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...	I wish...

7) PILATE
Talk of circles and punching out 
Looking in, drawing circles down 
Falling up the south marking ground 
Talking out of turn, drawing circles down 

Like Pilate, I have a dog               {3X} 
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves} 

Walks me out of town 
Still, one’s a crowd 
Making angels in the dirt 
Looking up, looking all around 

Like Pilate, I have a dog               {2X} 
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves} 

Stunned by my own reflection 
It's looking back, sees me too clearly 
And I swore I'd never go there again 
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down, you down, you down 

Like Pilate, I have a dog               {4X} 
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}

8) DO THE EVOLUTION
Woo.. 
I'm ahead, I'm a man 
I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah 
I'm at peace with my lust 
I can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah 
It's evolution, baby 

I'm at piece, I’m the man 
Buying stocks on the day of the crash 
On the loose, I'm a truck
All the rolling hills, I’ll flatten’ em out, yeah 
It's herd behavior, uh huh 
It's evolution, baby 

Admire me, admire my home 
Admire my song, here's my coat 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
This land is mine, this land is free 
I'll do what I want but irresponsibly 
It's evolution, baby 

I'm a thief, I'm a liar 
There's my church, I sing in the choir: 
{hallelujah…hallelujah…} 

Admire me, admire my home 
Admire my song, admire my clothes 
'Cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast 
Those ignorant Indians got nothin' on me 
Nothin', why? 
Because, it's evolution, baby! 

I am ahead, I am advanced 
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah 
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher 
Twenty-ten, watch it go to fire 
It's evolution, baby    {2X} 
Do the evolution 
Come on, come on, come on

9) UNTITLED (The Color Red)
We're all crazy 
We're all crazy and we're       {6X}

10) MFC (Many Fast Cars)
Sliding out of reverse into drive, this… 
Wheel will be turning right, then straight 
Off in the sunset she'll ride 
She can remember a time denied, stood by… 
Side of the road, spilled like wine, now… 
She's out on her own and line high 

There's no leaving here
Ask, I’m an ear
She’s disappeared 

They said timing was everything, made him…
Want to be everywhere, there’s a… 
Lot to be said for nowhere 

There's no leaving here
Ask, I’m an ear
We’ve disappeared 
There's no leaving here 
Ask, I’m an ear 
Fuck it, we'll disappear

11) LOW LIGHT
Clouds roll by 
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way? 
Wind blows by, low light 
Side-tracked, low light 
Can't see my tracks, your scent-way back 

Can I be here all alone? 
Clear a path to my home 
Blood runs dry 
Books and jealousy tell me wrong 
All I feel, calm
Voice blows by, low light 
Car crash, low light 
Can't wear my mask, your first, my last 

Voice goes by 
Two birds is what they'll see 
Getting lost upon their way 
Wind rolls by, low light 
Eye sight, low light 
I need the light 
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real? 
The dream I see

12) IN HIDING
I shut and locked the front door 
No way in or out 
I turned and walked the hallway 
And pulled the curtains down 
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around 
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound 

I'd stay but my last cab left me 
Ignored all my rounds 
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls 
They were upside down 

I swallow my words to keep from lying 
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I.. 
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving 
I surfaced when all of my pen wasn’t writing 
I'm in hiding           {4X} 

It's been about three days now 
Since I've been aground 
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now 
It's funny when things change so much 
It's all state of mind 

I swallowed my words to keep from lying 
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I, I… 
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, I was diving 
I surfaced and all around me was enlightened 
Now I'm in hiding       {8X}

13) PUSH ME, PULL ME
I had a false belief 
I thought I came here to stay 
We're all just visiting 
All just breaking like waves 
The oceans made me, but who came up with love? 
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out 
Push me, pull me, or pull me out           {2X}

So if there were no angels, would there be no sin? 
You better stop me before I begin 
But let me say: if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground 
Somewhere nice, make it nice 
Where the land meets high tide
Push me, pull me, or pull me out 
Push me, pull me…                         {2X} 

Like a cloud dropping rain 
I'm discarding all thought 
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground 
I'm like an opening band for the sun 
Push me, pull me                                {6X} 
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine, still in it…

14) ALL THOSE YESTERDAYS
Don't you think you oughtta rest? 
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down? 
Don't you think you want to sleep? 
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down tonight? 

Don't you think you've done enough? 
Oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe.. 
You don't think there's time to stop 
There's time enough for you to lay your head down, tonight, tonight 

Let it wash away 
All those yesterdays 

What are you running from? 
Taking pills to get along 
Creating walls to call your own 
So no one catches you? drifting off and 
Doing all the things that we all do 

Let them wash away 
All those yesterdays 
All those yesterdays 
All those paper plates 

You've got time, you've got time to escape 
There's still time, it's no crime to escape 
It's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape 
There's still time, so escape 
It's no crime, crime.. 

All those yesterdays            {9X}
