07. World Wide Suicide (Adelaide 2006-11-22) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

I felt the earth on Monday
It moved beneath my feet
In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see
Saw his face in a corner picture
I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the
Face I′d never see again

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over?
It′s the same every day I heard my name
What can be saved and who will be left to hold her?

The whole world
World over
It's a world wide suicide

The whole world
World over
It's a world wide suicide


Medals on a wooden mantle
Next to a handsome face
That the president took for granted
Writing checks the whole world pays
And in all the madness
Thought becomes numb and naive
Too much to talk about and
Nothing for to say

It′s the same every day
And the wave won′t break
Tell you to pray while
The devil's on his shoulder
Laying claim to the take
That our soldiers save
Does not equate, and
The truth′s already out there

The whole world
World over
It's a world wide suicide

The whole world
World over
It′s a world wide suicide

Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You've got to know there′s another
Another, another, another, another
Way


It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when the war has taken over
It's the same every day and the wave won′t break
Tell you to pray while the devil′s on his shoulder

The whole world
World over
It's a world wide suicide

The whole world
World over
It′s a world wide suicide

The whole world
World over
It's a world wide suicide

The whole world
World over
It′s a world wide suicide
