Society

Society
Eddie Vedder
-
Hmmm ooh hooo hooo
It's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed
.
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free
society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
.
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
.
I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space
.
Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
.
There's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you makeyour level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...
.
Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
.
Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Yes! I just watched it last night, LOVED it!!

That's where I first heard the song and incredible soundtrack (and 'society' is on it). I'm still marinating on the movie...I'll be writing about that real soon :)

Now I have to read the book, I don't want to be taking short-cuts and missing out on the good stuff!
