Jeremy

Songwriters: E. VEDDER, J. AMENT

At home 

Drawing pictures 

Of mountain tops 

With him on top 

Lemon yellow sun 

Arms raised in a V 

Dead lay in pools of maroon below 

Daddy didn't give attention 

To the fact that mommy didn't care 

King Jeremy the wicked 

Ruled his world 

Jeremy spoke in class today 

Jeremy spoke in class today 

Clearly I remember 

Pickin' on the boy 

Seemed a harmless little fuck 

But we unleashed a lion 

Gnashed his teeth 

And bit the recessed lady's breast 

How could i forget 

He hit me with a surprise left 

My jaw left hurtin 

Dropped wide open 

Just like the day 

Like the day i heard 

Daddy didn't give affection 

And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear 

King jeremy the wicked 

Ruled his world 

Jeremy spoke in class today 

Jeremy spoke in class today 

Try to forget this... 

Try to erase this... 

From the blackboard.
