Pearl Jam

Released: January 1, 2001

[Verse 1]
It's out of my hands, making all hands meet
Stumble as it's crumbling out of reach
It's in the cards of destiny
Your sanity in tow

[Chorus]
Designate my luck
Resignate

[Verse 2]
This power has no roots to guide, no role
Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go
Unwillingness, it's meaningless
To walk away in vain

[Chorus]
Designate my will
Designate my will
Resignate

[Verse 3]
My will is crashing, synapses flashing slow
Days like frame by frame, where do they go?
Yeah, why fight? Forget it
Can't I spend it after I go?

[Bridge]
Roll them high
Throw them again
All Gods' dice

[Outro]
Monkey driven, call this living, ha ha ha
Too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
Minding yours, what's mine, not yours
Will finish us off
Designate my life
Designate a view
Designate my will, my will, my will, I will
Resignate my god

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.
