Eddie Vedder - Society

From Into The Wild

Lyrics

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 make
your level drops
kinda like it's 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

[friday0408]

I wish I had the money to make a movie about a guy that was too stupid to do the right research and prepare properly. I would spend it on something useful.

[Sam Biggs]

[laktosmiffo]

One day I will live like that but hopefully not alone..

[TheMrWilfried]

I find it funny to see all these people who say they want to escape from society and quit being a slave to money. It's great dreaming material, but seriously, the world would be quite a mess without governments, money and obligations to lead people in certain directions. I'm not saying i didn't like the movie and its ideals, but the time of living with surviving as only obligation is over. 7 billion is too much. Make the best of life as it is nowadays and don't try too hard to escape from it.

[generalelectro]

I dream of the day when I can break free of being enslaved by society and money; and then I can begin my journey to true happiness.
