Pearl Jam - Redemption Song lyrics

Pirates, I'm sayin' they rob I

Board the merchant ships

I'm not sayin' we're not a part of it

>From the bottomless pit

But my hands were made strong

By the force of the Almighty

They don't say that your generation, triumphantly

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets

While we stand beside and look

They don't say I'm your generation

Oh, and I say...

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song (2x)

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our mind

Have no fear for atomic energy

'Cause none of them can stop the time

How long can they steal our prophets

While we stand beside and look

Say some say it's just a part of it

You got to fulfill the book...

Won't you help to sing

These songs of freedom

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song

'Cause all I ever had

Redemption song (2x)

This song of freedom

Oh
