World Wide Suicide - 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 everyday in a hell man made

What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?

The whole world

World over

It’s a worldwide suicide

Medals on a wooden mantle, next to a handsome face

That the president took for granted

Writing checks that others pay

And in all the madness

Thought becomes numb and naive

So much to talk about, nothing for to say

It’s the same everyday and the wave won’t break

Tell you to pray, while the devils on their 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 worldwide suicide

The whole world

World over

It’s a worldwide suicide

Looking in the eyes of the fallen

You 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 a war has taken over

It’s the same everyday and the wave won’t break

Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

The whole world

World over

It’s a worldwide suicide

The whole world

World over

It’s a worldwide suicide
