Download mp3 - Jeremy (live) : Pearl Jam
At
home drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top.
Lemon yellow sun. Arms raised in a V.
The dead lay in pools of maroon below.
Daddy didn’t give attention to the fact that mommy didn’t care.
King Jeremy the Wicked ruled his world.
Jeremy spoke in class today.
Clearly I remember picking on the boy.
Seemed a harmless little fuck...but we unleashed a lion.
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady’s breast.
How could I forget. And he hit me with a surprise left.
My jaw left hurting, dropped wide open.
Just like the day...like the day I heard
Daddy didn’t give affection and the boy was something mommy wouldn’t wear.
King Jeremy the Wicked ruled his world.
Jeremy spoke in class today.
Try to forget this...try to erase this from the blackboard.
