i remember listening to this while making out with this guy (no name mentioned) when i was 15... i would sneak out of my house all the time to see this guy... we would listen to pearl jam, nirvana, megadeth, metallica, and sepultura... epic daze.... young and dumb... but it sure was fun... love you still, b.w.
he won the lottery when he was born - took his mothers white breast to his tongue - trained like dogs, color and smell - walks by me to get to him - police man - police man (Go on Pearl Jam) This band made my 90's.
Dave Abruzzese did the drums for this song, no other PJ drummer could duplicate his chops, they crashed rock bottom after Eddie dumped him, best album ever bcoz of Dave A
Do no wrong so clean cut. Dirty his hands it comes right off. Police man. (x3) Police stopped my brother, again. (x3) Police man. (x2) Police stopped my brother, again. (x3) Police man. (x3) Hey now. Hey now. Hey now. (x5) Hey. (x5) Hey now. Hold on. Hold on. (x3) All my pieces set me free. Human devices set me free. All my pieces set me free. (x2) Human devices set me free. (x2) All my pieces set me free. (x2) Human devices set me free. (x2) Hey, hey, hey all (x3)
He won the lottery when he was born. Took his mothers white breast to his tongue. Trained like dogs. Color and smell. Walks by me to get to him. Police man. (x2) All my peaces. (x2) He won the lottery by being born. Big hand slapped the white male american. Do no wrong. So clean cut. Dirty his hands it comes right off. Police man. (x2) Police stopped my brother, again. (x3) Police man. (x2) Jesus greets me, looks just like me.
This song is irrefutable proof of Pearl Jam's cutting edge originality & innovative uniqueness! More-over, 1993, when this song came out, was truly the end of an era based upon such originality & innovative musical ideas, & that's this real shame! So to Pearl Jam, I salute you, your spirit, brilliant originality, passion, for your keen understanding of society's ills & various problems, & for writing awesome, super cool & utterly euphoric inducing music that is very hard to come by these days!
@sxlfkta Right on!!! They had an unimaginable, keen insight on the future of American society. Twenty years later, there has not been any other musical/lyrical genius that compares. Our country is at a very historic and significant juncture. Celebrities can have a major impact on politics and can influence peoples opinions regarding the path that Washington has this great nation moving towards. Eddie has voiced his opinion in the past presidential elections. Where does he stand today??
@bmtusmc Wow, you sure as hell can write! What eloquence, what brilliance, what passion! Your words just floor me. You certainly bring the level of You Tube discourse to this much higher, more intellectual plane. Peace out bro! TTrain!!!
is there any video showing how Dave Abbruzese play this live??? or even some drum tutorials? pleeeeeeeeeeease.. listen this toon for more then 10 years, watch them in concert and still need to see Dave Abruzzese!
@ZAP001001 thx mate...I thought about it, but I wasn't sure. I dont play drums in years regularly, shame on me! I bet one is a snare without chains. Wish I could practice this on a real set. At the moment I'm smashing my chair
@budibausto yeah he probably had a 25 piece kit for the recording so a couple of different snares like u said... and dude, don't smash your chair up.. when all else fails, a condom stretched over a saucepan is all ya need haha
Anyone notice how similar the drums sound to Alice in Chains "sickman", which was released just a year before this? Love both bands, don't get me wrong :)
FUCK YEAH! where the hell is music like this today? am i living under a rock or is it just shit? My only complaint is these headphones arn't loud enough.....if it doesn't give you tinnitus, it needs to be louder.
No doubt that Pearl Jam has this very powerful & compelling message to convey & spread! For much of their music just resonates with power, passion, social justice & magic, as if they are trying to bring awareness of society's varied & pressing problems & cultural tribulations to the forefront. Very few bands have done it as well, & with as much talent, musical prowess & authenticity!
its too bad they cant pull this off live anymore, saw a vid where they tried it and it just wasn't the same. wonder what it is that is so challenging for them probably the drums?
The sound quality on the early Pearl Jam CDs is amazing and full of dynamics. You really appreciate this when you start to crank them up on a really good hi-fi stereo system with good speakers. It just sounds so amazing and live, so incredible. Such a shame the Loudness Wars had to ruin the quality of music at the start of the 2000's.
Im not saying that Whites today ole the Blacks any special treatment, or that Whites today should feel bad for the actions of people who they don't even know. It's just a FACT that it takes a long time to get past racial stigmas. Like the comic Carlos Mencea says, "In America we all get a turn" and right now post 911 it's the Arabs turn. Welcome to the greatest country in the known universe. AMERICA!
By the 18th century, colonial courts and legislatures had racialized slavery, essentially creating a caste system in which slavery applied nearly exclusively to Black Africans and people of African descent, and occasionally to Native Americans. So till the 1950's Blacks have been a second class people. Who eles in Americas great history can say the same? I don't think anyone can. The point is as again a lot of races suffered to make our great country what it is. Blacks were the hardest hit!
Vetis213, you have a point I did leave out Natives to this great country. All people at some time were murdered by the ruleing power at the time. But it's a huge difference from having your land taken then to be taken from your land! Then made to work and be treated like animals. Slaves were no better than someones live stock, that they could do what they will with. Natives along with a lot of "non white" people were treated bad no doubt. Blacks were the only not to be thought of as HUMANS!
gotta disagree with you. there was incentive to keep slaves alive; not the same thing with native americans. there's a difference between being taken from your land as opposed to having your land taken from you, but then again native americans make up about one percent of the population of the country today.
It goes like this, since blacks were the hardest hit when it came to a start in the U.S. it's hard to over come. Even now everyone is just wowed by the fact we have our first "Black" president when in fact his mom was white. All other races had it bad also, (Asians, Polish, Irish, Itialians) But the after 40 years or so of mixing, it's hard to tell on white from another. THERE IS NO MISTAKING IT IF YOUR BLACK! But at the end of the day what ever color you are being american is still the best!
Police are made to profile. That's part of what the song is saying. Police injustus is real, and just like everything in life it's not all police. If you are a white male on the "wrong side of town" the police will profile you for tring to buy drugs. If you are ion the "good side of town" and you are black, maybe you have a white girlfriend that you are visiting and if I'm a racisist cop it may piss me off. Maybe you're tring to steal form the good people, so I gotta shake you down.
jtminutisme1 and beestmode360tube shit dosent just full from the sky we had to work to get were we are today pearl jam is white eny way im white and im so sick of black pepl complaining all the time i dident do shit to them
Not digging the White/Male or American "guilt" trip. Those attitudes and the people who spread them are part of the real problem. If it looks like a hippie, talks like a hippie... Yeah this would have been better as an instrumental. Sweet music.
@shickywhicky Now That I Look At It .... It IS Possible That PEARL JAM ARE A Bunch Of HIPPIE ASSHOLES!!! Well... The Other Night I Was Listening To "TEN"... And I Started To Figure Out That Eddie And The Boys Are Working On "A Union List" For Some Fantasy-Pool "War Effort"... Just So You Know... The Music Sucks And I Hate War ANYWAYS.... I Am A Stoner And An Artist And I Stay The Fuck Away From "Sign-Ups" And "Boot Camp Psychiatrist- Preppies"("HIPPIES")...
@PhoenixHeartRecords This song was written because eddie vedder was upset when police officers were hassling his black friend but not him (eddie vedder being a white male american).
As for the problem you might be mentioning, regardless of the fact that America is the land of the free, whites, especially white males, make more money and are born with more privileges than minorities, generally. If you think that fixing this (what this song is about) is a "problem", then you need some real help.
@beestmode360tube Eddie's personal experience/inspiration is not implicit in the song, though it would seem some of the lyrics reference it. The way it is perceived (its effect) is more important. The culture, laws, and societal structure have become increasingly "PC", with "affirmative action" against whites/men and the racist/sexist attitudes that inspire it are reinforced by it. I don't call that "fixing" anything. It is the problem, and if you can't see that, your the one who needs help.
@PhoenixHeartRecords Affirmative action isn't "against whites", it's FOR the underprivileged and poor who don't share the same opportunities that the average white male has. BLACK WOMEN make around 65% of what a white male makes. I'm sorry your conservative view makes you think that this isn't a problem. I'm not saying that all white men should be hated because of their privileges but rather white men such as myself and probably you as well shouldn't call affirmative action a problem.
@beestmode360tube look why don't you just accept that black people are generally not as bright as white people, racist if you like, but we all know it's true
@beestmode360tube the only thing that prove sis that you're lying and easily brainwashed by propaganda, not everything is on tv is from an accurate and relibale source BOOM !
@beestmode360tube you're very naive ,the labour board has said otherwise, stop making excuses for being a failure with your eternal victim mentality, now back to work Id ' like big mac and a supersize coke and fries too ! did you get all of that?
@beestmode360tube Thanks for being educated on this issue, and setting the people who are ignorant about such things, not by their failt, but not being experienced in thiese matters, straight. Cool beans
Such great lyrics. I remember when I saw them live and before playing Insignificance he said I know a lot of lyrics I have written are meaningless but we have got some songs that have great lyrics. WMA is another one with great lyrics. Although I love every Pearl Jam song :p Meaningless lyrics or not :D
Pure grunge: distorsion, agressiveness, power, dark vocal melodies. Vs was a great album, different to Ten. Actually, it was more similar to the sound of other Seattle bands at that time like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney or Screaming Trees. Ten had more of classic rock, I'd say. As Nirvana, they went for a less accesible album after their sucess; that proves their sincere attitude!
Pearl Jam is an amzing band. I`m not a die-hard fan but really enjoy the power of their music. And Eddie Vedder is one of my favourite figures in Rock music.
i think this band will go down as one of the best band ever.one day they will be in the hall of fame.keep rockin p.j.you made alot of memorys of my 20's for me,thanks to all the grundge bands for making rock a fresh scene again.i love metal and was so happy to see the hairbands who thought they were metal die.i'm more into megadeth,ironmaiden ect, bands like that from those days,really kicked some ass back in my rebelous teenage years.up the irons, thank god for kurt cobain.r.i.p kurt,peace
do know wrong so clean cut dirty his hands it comes rite off .police man.police stopped my brother again!police stopped my brother again!policeman! policeman!

@beestmode360tube Eddie's personal experience/inspiration is not implicit in the song, though it would seem some of the lyrics reference it. The way it is perceived (its effect) is more important. The culture, laws, and societal structure have become increasingly "PC", with "affirmative action" against whites/men and the racist/sexist attitudes that inspire it are reinforced by it. I don't call that "fixing" anything. It is the problem, and if you can't see that, your the one who needs help.

@PhoenixHeartRecords Affirmative action isn't "against whites", it's FOR the underprivileged and poor who don't share the same opportunities that the average white male has. BLACK WOMEN make around 65% of what a white male makes. I'm sorry your conservative view makes you think that this isn't a problem. I'm not saying that all white men should be hated because of their privileges but rather white men such as myself and probably you as well shouldn't call affirmative action a problem.

@beestmode360tube look why don't you just accept that black people are generally not as bright as white people, racist if you like, but we all know it's true

@beestmode360tube Sorry but white people are just smarter than blacks, period

Such great lyrics. I remember when I saw them live and before playing Insignificance he said I know a lot of lyrics I have written are meaningless but we have got some songs that have great lyrics. WMA is another one with great lyrics. Although I love every Pearl Jam song :p Meaningless lyrics or not :D

Pure grunge: distorsion, agressiveness, power, dark vocal melodies. Vs was a great album, different to Ten. Actually, it was more similar to the sound of other Seattle bands at that time like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney or Screaming Trees. Ten had more of classic rock, I'd say. As Nirvana, they went for a less accesible album after their sucess; that proves their sincere attitude!
Anyway, just my opinion and love both records! :)

VS. was the real Pearl Jam... Ten was like a new "MotherloveBone" record. I think the band really found themselves with Vs. !

Pearl Jam is an amzing band. I`m not a die-hard fan but really enjoy the power of their music. And Eddie Vedder is one of my favourite figures in Rock music.
