Jeremy by Pearl Jam

At home .

Drawing pictures .

Of mountain tops .

With him on top .

Lemon yellow sun .

Arms raised in a V .

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 .

Jeremy spoke in class today .

Clearly I remember .

Pickin' on the boy .

Seemed a harmless little fuck .

But we unleashed a lion .

Gnashed his teeth .

And bit the recessed lady's breast .

How could I forget .

He hit me with a surprise left .

My jaw left hurtin .

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 .

Jeremy spoke in class today .

Try to forget this .

Try to erase this .

From the blackboard .
