I was in work one Saturday morning, filling up the fridge with soft drinks, and this song came on the radio... On a constant loop... For 40 minutes... So, obviously, I was somewhat sick of it by the end of my shift. I then met my girlfriend, who loves Pearl Jam, and raged constantly about how much I hated this song, and how I hated whoever was responsible for bringing it into the world. Needless to say, we didn't last long...
@baldazz Avocado is a fruit, but not a sweet one. It is very tasty. In latin america is quite common, in some countries more than other and the way it can be eaten is quite diverse too... In Costa Rica (im costa rican) we ussualy make salad with avocado and it goes pretty good with rice (and a little salt), but in Brazil it's a dessert. They eat it with sugar and make avocado shakes (I don't know why!!!! LOL). Thumbs up so people know...
@buerplaysguitar did you know lemon is a fruit too and is more sweet that a strawbery?? and yeah i know that avocado is so popular in mexico too (i'm mexican) they eat it like a snack i saw my family XD anyways we use it with almost every meal we can maked, but we didn't thing is a candy xD
@buerplaysguitar I'm brazilian... and avocado shake fucking rocks! You should try it someday, you won't regret. Add extra milk for unguilty pleasure explosion!
I remember when this song first appeared on my old favorite rock station. The song was so kick-ass that they had to play it again. And again. That day was awesome.
it's not about bush.. or anybody inparticular it's about the fact that no matter where your'e from....war is decided by some other prick and soldiers follow orders.... thats what being a soldier is.... in other words dont blame the soldier.... blame the prick politician....afterall we need soldiers because there are genuinley bad people out there... but the people who decide these wars..... may be bias and thats what I believe this is about.
lmao at all the bush hating comments. not defending him entirely but his presidency failed mostly because of previous laws and regulations of previous presidents that began to fall apart. some things bush did do all on his own. but most of you just jump on with whatever anybody tells you, Bush is bad, the war is for oil, hitler was the worst person in history etc.. Most of you are just ignorant and it makes me laugh until I pass out from lack of oxygen.
@johnnyrckt Maybe his presidency failed because of the other's mistakes, but mostly because he's a moron. It's true people are ignorant and often don't know what they're talking about, but are you saying Bush is not bad, war is not for oil, and hitler wasn't one of the worst persons in history ?? Then you are the ignorant one, and you jump on with whatever politicians tell you. Keep your oxygen, you could need it when ignorance will surround the planet.
@IIHazel What oil? Seriously do you own a car? or anything that runs off of gasoline? There's no oil coming out those wars. And Saudi Arabia has most of the oil. Second Hitler is not the worst person in history that belongs to Mao Zedong. YOU keep your mouth shut you're hippie arrogant ignorance just makes those of us who actually know what's going on laugh at you.
"one of the worst", I thought you were one of those who say Hitler wasn't that bad, etc.
Besides, it's quite ridiculous to argue about who's the worst, I think it doesn't really matter ok? All of them are *** (can't find the word but you know what I mean).
And sorry, "war is not for oil" wasn't suposed to be written there! I guess you're right about that. Anyway war is a shame. I like Bush hating comments, such better than war enjoying comments I found on other vids ...
@johnnyrckt do you really know whats going on? i think not. if you did you probably would kill yourself or do somethin ab it. nobody knows whats goin on in this fucked up world. maybe its better that way. and where do you think most of the countries' energy comes from? fossil fuels. gasoline,and whats wrong with bein a hippie? they dont believe in war. and war is retarded,they aint in to all the bullshit that fascist ppl are. governing is fasicm.they control us and start wars they wont fight in.
I was 13 a teenager scorned by the wickedly changing world. Could not be the person I was because of prejiduiced torwards difference in personalities. I was told to get out of stores. I was told to pray while the devil was on their shoulder. Guess wut I made it through and no one can fuck with me right now. Anthem for my generation. Tells the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth long live pearl jam!!
"medals on a wooden mantle...handsome face that the president took for granted"...what president?? Isn't Obama taking for granted the lives of our soldiers in Afghanistan?? Hey, Eddie, write sth about that, too...!
@STORKMAN21 wasn't Obama, in context to the time. This song came out while Bush was in office for the last term. I don't want to make political aspects, nor would I want things to get ugly. But i'm just saying in context...
lol the first time I heard this i was listening to my portable radio on the bus, coming home from work, and I was all like, "HOLY FUCK! THIS IS THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD!!!"
I got off the bus downtown and went straight to the music store to buy the CD.

Lol, why would you want to know the lyrics of a song? Knowing lyrics engages the left side of the brain which takes away from the whole listening experience
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i've been a fan of pearl jam for along, as a guitarist, and someone that slightly remebers when ten came out, i feel that the musicians have let eddie down. its like mike and stone are trying to play 70's punk, they need to remeber there distiorion pedals alittle more
This song doesn't fit pearl jam.. Pearl jam is more about those personal stories that shock you and mess with your feelings like dolls, they're also alot more poetic, i love their lyrics, alot of literature elements and most of all eddie's singing from the heart. Don't think this is a good song, atleast not for Pearl. =)
am looking for the april 15, 20006 Saturday Night Live video of this song....
