[Chorus]
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no

[Verse 1]
Don't gimme no lip, I've had my fill of it
Don't gimme no lip, I've lost my taste for it
Don't gimme no lip, you've got to face this shit
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip, whoo

[Chorus]
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no

[Verse 2]
Don't gimme no lip, I'm just not having it
Don't gimme no lip, stuck on your cigarette
Don't gimme no lip, I'm wiping off the spit
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip

[Bridge]
It's just a problem
One I'll be solving
It's just a problem
Problem? haha

[Chorus]
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no
Don't gimme no lip, don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no

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.
