Whipping (Live, Seattle Washington November 5 2000)Pearl Jam

[Verse 1]
Don't need a helmet, got a hard hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, there's too much blood
After a while seems to roll right off

[Chorus]
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping

[Verse 2]
Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
I don't get behind I can't fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don't want no change we already have

[Chorus]
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping

[Verse 3]
Don't mean to push but I'm being shoved
I'm just like you think we've had enough
I can't believe a thing they want us to
We all got scars, they should have them too

[Chorus]
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
Ooooh, they're whipping

Pearl Jam

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.
