Swallow My Pride (N.V. 1993) [Live] Songtext
von Pearl Jam

She looked at me with dignity said
"There′s one thing you gotta see if you know we're headed for war
This country′s prouder than ever before
Yes there's a spirit in the air, we're more american than anywhere"
Well i just smiled cuz i could tell this little girl′s going to hell
Now i wouldn′t mind if you swallowed my pride
Would make me feel alright, deep inside, feel alright
All the warmth in her heart can't keep my blood from running cold
Keep my blood from running cold
First i fell for her looks, now i just wanna go for the throat
I tried to tell her a hundred times, this little girl didn′t understand at all


Pride comes before a fall
Now i wouldn't mind if you swallowed my pride
Make me feel alright, deep inside, feel alright
This ain′t the garden of eden
This ain't the summer of love
Things ain′t what they used to be
There ain't no angels above
Ain't the garden of eden
Ain′t no angels above
Things ain′t what they used to be
This ain't, this ain′t the summer... of love
