“World Wide Suicide” by Pearl Jam
Lyrics
I felt the earth on Monday
It moved beneath my feet
In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see
I saw his face in a color picture
I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the
Face I’d never see again
It’s a shame to awaken, world aflame
What does it mean when the war has taken over?
It’s the same every day in a hell man-made
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide
Medals on a wooden mantle
Next to a handsome face
That the president took for granted
Writing checks that others pay
And in all the madness
Thought becomes numb and naive
So much to talk about and
Nothing more to say
It’s the same everyday and the wave won’t break
Tell you to pray, while the devil’s on their shoulder
Laying claim to the take that soldiers save
Does not equate and the truth’s already out there
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide
Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there is another, another, another, another, another…
Way
It’s a shame to awaken, world aflame
What does it mean when the war has taken over?
It’s the same everyday and the wave won’t break
Tell you to pray, while the devil’s on their shoulder
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide
The whole world…
World over…
It’s a world wide suicide

Dude, we have the same taste in music. Pearl Jam seems to be getting back to their roots with this one. Just some hard, all-American rock and roll.
Thanks for the lyrics.
