Its an art to live with pain
mix the light into gray


ED wrote the draft for this new Star Wars trilogy nearly 15 years ago

Oh shut up.

the chorus is a bit much

"Is this just another day, in this God forgotten place"
"First come love and then comes pain, let the games begin"
"It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough, all you need is love"
"Earthquakes making waves, trying to shake the cancer off, stupid human beigns"
"Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing and there is just one thing that I still belive and it's love"
"Is an art to live with pain, mix the light into gray"
"And the young, they can loose hope cause they can't see beyond today, a wisdom that the old can give away"
"Constant recoil, sometimes life won't leave you alone"

I love and can sympathise with all these lines.

EDIT: Although, using "Love Boat Captain" is pretty stupid.

I despise the lines quoting the beatles, its so cheesy to me. Its maybe my least favorite PJ lyric ever

But "no midle anymore, it's been said before" from Half Full is ok?

yeah its up there for me too

also not very good, but its better

This I guess.

I never even noticed that lyric since that song doesn't really draw attention to its lyrics as much as LBC does. What is he even quoting? Porch? At least he's quoting himself I guess.

It's still not a good lyric but it doesn't make me as mad as the LBC one.

On top of just being bad the LBC positions itself as like a pivotal line. Maybe THE Pivotal line

im not sure it is quoting porch. The lyric in porch is referrring to something different than class war. that lyric may be referencing the next line.

rather than

no middle here anymore-it’s been said before.

it may be

no middle here anymore.
It’s been said before - the haves be having more...

Ah, I just assumed it was quoting something from him bringing it up in reference to the LBC line.

that's the way i've always interpreted it

Why is so much so cheesy to you?

LBC's lyrics are cheesy but Pearl Jam is super fucking cheesy in general.

It’s not quoting Porch.

Exactly. It's quoting me. I famously said it in to my kindergarten class in 1985. Everybody knows that.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

I've always been quite quotable.

First Grade Teacher: "OK class, let's recite the school rules"
Emma: "No hitting!"
FGT: "Good Emma!"
Winston: "Raise your hand to talk!"
FGT: "Thank you Winston"
Durden,Tyler: "OTLOTH"

A distant time, a distant place {that's where we're living}

So watcha giving?

{compare with-- how much ya gettin' when your parents die yo?! how much tho? How much want to know tho? yo}
