[Verse 1]
Exponentially serving
Perpetually unnerving
Vehicle swerving
The adjectives they are all a-blurring
Freud walking the sidelines clipboard scoring the brain
Black magic viente y tres, aw, makes me sane

[Chorus]
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Doesn't matter anyway

[Verse 2]
Phantom pain in my brain
It's all that's left of my leg
Black and red and yellow, Black and red and yellow
Heard you repeat a-what you heard
Me knowing the truth I can not concur

[Chorus]
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Don't matter anyway
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Don't matter anyway

[Bridge]
Hey bro
Eddie, this is Steve [?] calling
Guess what brother? I'm looking for you and the boys
I looked up Japan. I'm going to Chicago!
And uh, I just wanna know one thing baby
Where the fuck are ya?

[Chorus]
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Doesn't fuckin' matter anyway
Hormones firing like a fifty foot Roman, yeah
Please don't make me explain

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
