Brain of J.
Time: 2:59
Vedder, McCready

Who's got the brain of JFK?
What's it mean to us now? Yeah
Oh, it's sound insurance
But I can tell you, this is no lie
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieving {2X}
You, you've been taught
We'd been the same, now they got you in line
Stand behind the stripes
There will be order, so give up your mind
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieving {2X}
And by name
The name they gave me
The name I'm letting go
The whole world will be different soon
The whole world will be relieving {3X}
The whole world will be different soon, soon


Faithfull
Time: 4:18
Vedder, McCready

Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it {4X}
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes {2X}
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it {3X}
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
M.Y.T.H. is
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing
And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related
What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you

No Way
Time: 4:19
Gossard

Here's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me
All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my asiac nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there for.. anyone
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be there for..
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way {2X}
Ooh, let's call in an angel {3X}
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
No way
No way, no way
Let's call in an angel
Who's calling an angel?

Given to Fly
Time: 4:01
Vedder, McCready

He could've tuned in, tuned in But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh
He's.. flying
Whoa
High.. wide, oh
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
I'm.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He's flying
Oh, oh

Wishlist
Time: 3:26
Vedder

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up

Pilate
Time: 3:00
Ament

Talk of circles and punching out
Looking in, drawing circles down
Falling up the south marking ground
Talking out of turn, drawing circles down
Like Pilate, I have a dog {2X}
Walks me out of town
Still, one's a crowd
Making angels in the dirt
Looking up, looking all around
Like Pilate, I have a dog {2X}
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}
Stunned by my own reflection
It's looking back, sees me too clearly
And I swore I'd never go there again
Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,
you down, you down
Like Pilate, I have a dog {4X}
{Obeys, listens, kisses, loves}

Do the Evolution
Time: 3:54
Vedder, Gossard

Woo...
I'm ahead, I'm a man
I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace, with my lust
I can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah
It's evolution baby
I'm at peace, I'm the man
Having stocks on the day of the crash, yeah
On the loose, I'm a truck
All alone in here, I flatten 'em out, yeah
It's herd behavior, uh huh
It's evolution baby
Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, he's my clone
Yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is free
I'll do what I want, but irresponsibly
It's evolution baby
I'm a thief, I'm a liar
There's my church, I sing in the choir
Hallelujah... (x2)
Admire me, admire my home
Admire my song, admire my clothes
Cause we know
Appee, for a nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got nothing on me
Nothing... why? Because...
It's evolution baby!
I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make friends, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher
Twenty-ten watch it go to fire
It's evolution baby! (x2)
Do the evolution!
Come on
Come one come on
woo...

Irons

We're all crazy and we're {6X}

MFC
Time: 2:27
Vedder

Sliding out of reverse into drive, this
Wheel will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied, stood by
Side of the road, spilled like wine, now
She's out on her own and line high
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
She's disappeared
They said timing was everything, made him
Want to be everywhere, there's a
Lot to be said for nowhere
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
Please disappear
There's no leaving here
Ask, I'm an ear
Fuck it, we'll disappear

Low Light
Time: 3:46
Ament

Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by,
low light, Side-tracked, low light
Can't see my tracks, your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
I will feel, calm
Voice blows by
low light, Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask, your first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by
low light, eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
The dream I see

In Hiding
Time: 5:00
Vedder, Gossard

I shut and locked the front door
No way in or out
I turned and walked the hallway
And pulled the curtains down
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around
But nothing's sound, nothing's sound
I'd stay where my last step left me
Ignored all my rounds
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls
They were upside down
I swallow my words to keep from lying
I swallow my face just to keep from biting, I, I..
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving,
I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing
I'm in hiding {4X}
It's been about three days now
Since I've been aground
No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
Hey, it's funny when things change so much
It's all state of mind
I swallowed my words to keep from lying
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting I, I
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving,
I was diving
I surfaced and all around me was enlightened
Now I'm in hiding {8X}

Push Me, Pull Me
Time: 2:27
Vedder, Ament

I had a false belief
I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me, or pull me out {2X}
So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But let me say: if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in
the ground
Somewhere nice, make it nice
Where the land meets high tide
Push me, pull me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me {2X}
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun
Push me, pull me {6X}
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine, still in it

All Those Yesterdays
Time: 7:47
Gossard

Don't you think you oughtta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down? Don't you think you oughtta to sleep?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down tonight?
Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough, well maybe..
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down, tonight, tonight
Let it wash away
All those yesterdays
What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you? drifting off and
Doing all the things that we all do
Let them now wash away
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
(All those yesterdays)
(All those yesterdays)
All those paper plates
(All those yesterdays)
(All those yesterdays)
You've got time, you've got time to escape
There's still time, it's no crime to escape
It's no crime to escape, it's no crime to escape
It's now time, so escape
It's no crime, crime..
All those yesterdays {9X}
