[Verse 1]
I've got an unfortunate feeling
I been beaten down
I feel that I'm done believing
Now the truth is coming out
What they've taken is more than a vow
They've taken your innocence
And then they throw em on a burning pile

[Chorus]
All along they're saying
"Mind your manners!"

[Verse 2]
I caught myself believing
That I needed God
And if it's out there somewhere
We sure could use hymn now
Try my patience!
My patience tried
This world's a long love letter
That makes me want to cry
Ah-ah-ay-ay

[Chorus]
All along they're saying
That's all they're saying
Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve all mysteries
Right around the corner
Could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And all along they're saying
"Mind your manners"
Always praying
Self-realized and metaphysically redeemed
May not live another life
May not solve all mysteries
Right around the corner
Could be bigger than ourselves
We could will it to the sky
Or we could something else

[Outro]
Go to Heaven
That's swell
How do you like your living hell?
Go to Heaven
That's swell
How do you like your living hell?
Go to Heaven
That's swell
How do you like your living hell?
Living Hell!

[Spoken Word: Eddie Vedder]
Hey Mike, before, I'm gonna say hello to the people. "Hello the people." Hey!
Aw, shit! That's like a Seahawks game right there. Hey, cheers!
Aw, mind your manners. Where's my manners. Good evening Seattle. It's good to be back home
And, uh, goddamn. This is the last night of our tour. We don't be playing for a while after today
And, uh, we don't have to travel anywhere, so we can give it all we got
And, uh, we were very fortunate on this tour, everywhere we went, whether it was New York, Boston, Phillie, everywhere except for Chicago, actually. It was fucking perfect weather. We saw the cities in their best light, including Dallas. I mean, we were in Dallas a week before the Kennedy assassination anniversary. And, uh, to pull in and see Seattle this morning, it was like Seattle got all dressed up for us. It was beautiful
And, uh, it just made us more happy to be back fucking home
And we've got a lot of friends here tonight, which is why I brought the extra big bottle of wine
And this one, we'd like to dedicate this to our friend who's, here. Raul. Ebanez Raul. Raul! Raul! This one's for you

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.
