“Jeremy” Lyrics - Pearl Jam

“Jeremy”


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

Oh, to the fact that mommy didn’t care

King Jeremy the wicked

Oh, 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 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

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today


Try to forget this,

Try to erase this,

From the blackboard


Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in class today

Jeremy spoke in

spoke in

Jeremy spoke in

spoke in

Jeremy spoke in class today
