Jeremy - Pearl Jam

At home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemon yellow sun
arms raised in a V
dead lay in pools of maroon blood
daddy didn't give attention
to the fact that mommy didn't care
king jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
jeremy spoke in class today
jeremy spoke in class today
clearly i remember
pickin' on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth
and bit the recessed lady's breast
how could i forget
he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurtin
dropped wide open
just like the day
like the day i heard
daddy didn't give affection
and the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
king jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
jeremy spoke in class today
jeremy spoke in class today
try to forget this...
try to erase this...
from the blackboard.

Jeremy is a song was inspired by a newspaper article Vedder read about a high school student that shot himself in front of his English class. "Jeremy" features lyrics written by vocalist Eddie Vedder and music written by bassist Jeff Ament. The song's music was written before the band went out on tour in support of Alice in Chains in February 1991.
I choose this song, because make me create conscience about the people and their feelings. Now  a days we need share with different people in jobs, in public transportation, in the supermarket, so all people is important and deserve all our respect. Many times we walk between people and we look but don't see, we belive that they no exist, but they are. So the message that the song represents to me is be respectful.
