Pearl Jam - Mankind Lyrics

Using up my Listerine, like Ovaltine ❤

Foo Fighters?

Very underrated song. Pearl Jam would have been better off if Stone had continued to be the main songwriter throughout the last couple decades. He was the force on the early albums (which is their best material) and his contributions on the later albums are hidden gems. It's too bad Eddie kind of took over and has dominated the songwriting. I've always liked Stone's material a lot better.

Fuck you and your drum sound fool irons thanks cammeron

Totally in the style of Husker Du or Sugar. Love it.

This sounds like Foo Fighters.

me recuerda a "Learn to fly" de Foo Fighters.

Very Ramonesy.

Thanks guys ....

Sonzera.

Stone Gossard fuckin vocals !!

the new term to this song is peoplekind, great song one of there best

You'll be, going out with radio
Going out with disco, going out like bacchanal
I'll be, going out with telephone
Going out alone, to the radar zone
It's all just inadvertent imitation and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent simulation a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
I'll be, playing with my magazine
Using up my Listerine, like Ovaltine
And you'll be, you're dippin' in your battleship
For the latest tip, for the latest dream
It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent, simulation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
If it's just inadvertent, imitation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
What's got the whole world fakin'? (4x)
What's got the whole world fakin' it, yeah?

Never a Vedder fan but absolutely love this Gossard gem. Imagine if the Ramones could have covered this.

They could have. No Code came out in 96. Would've been awesome!

or if it feature Pitbull

maybe the best PJ song,great lyrics!

Love how this song just said screw what you’ve done to the music and how you’ve tried to market it and turn into something artificial and plastic trendy

mankind utilizing mankind's trusting good natured instinctual behaviors as weapons against mankind
like hearing cattle to the slaughter, against mankind's own will. , what to do about that?

Where're the lyrics?

You'll be, going out with radio
Going out with disco, going out like bacchanal
I'll be, going out with telephone
Going out alone, to the radar zone
It's all just inadvertent imitation and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent simulation a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
I'll be, playing with my magazine
Using up my Listerine, like Ovaltine
And you'll be, you're dippin' in your battleship
For the latest tip, for the latest dream
It's all just inadvertent, imitation, and I don't mean mine
It's all across this nation
If it's just inadvertent, simulation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
If it's just inadvertent, imitation, a pattern in all mankind
What's got the whole world fakin' it?
What's got the whole world fakin'? (4x)
What's got the whole world fakin' it, yeah?

Fuck yeah!

Such a great song from my favorite Pearl Jam album. I love Stone Gossard!

lmao ohh my god😂 I love PJ 💓💓

This sounds like "Don't Gimme No Lip" from the Lost Dogs album. I think Stone wrote both of those songs. And yes, this song is very much in the style of the Foo Fighters. Simple pop rock music!

Good song!!!!!

Nostalgia

Who´s sing this song? Gossard?

+Vinicius Visentini Yep

+1wfunston1 Good! Thanxs!

Vinicius Visentini
Yes

Does anyone else get a kind of punks vibe almost reminiscent of Dino Jr and I also agree with the dude who said this reminds them of Foo Fighters

@Noah Kankanala Early Foo Fighters, hell yes!

I was definitely getting a punk feel

yeah, it sounds like foo fighters and a great punk vibe lml

I was gonna say Guided by Voices

such a fun song! Stone should sing more songs!

one person missclicked

Best lyrics ever.

crazy how much of a different band it sounds like, goes to show how much of an impact the vocalist makes

Many (or dare I say most) bands can be ridiculously less recognizable without their lead singer, no matter how good or bad they or their lead singer are. Certain bands definitely have a "sound" where you can tell right away by guitar/drums/bass/etc who it is (Nirvana/Zeppelin/Primus for example) but the human voice has so many unique nuances and differences and tones that make it easier to peg as a certain band. I don't think it reflects positively or negatively on Eddie's singing, I just think it's awesome and even better considering it's Stone's baby.

Sort of but this still sounds so pearl jamy. It's like that CD where they are Neil Young's backing band. Just sounds like pearl jam with Neil young.

is it me or the vocals sounds unusual..?

Its Stone Gossard singing, not Eddie Vedder

Cool song about memes

read somewhere about this song- It’s a sarcastic, wry song, smiling at a joke that the uninitiated just do not get. Stone’s voice is perfect for that.. so true!

Yes, yes, yes, agree, especially from their first album.

I like this jam, no pun intended. Reminds me of early Foo Fighters, sorta of a cross of Big Me, This is a Call and For All the Cows.

This is one of the best, but most atypical song of their career. Brilliant.

some pictures of the front cover are a mistery :)

got a Foo Fighters feel

I did not realize it until this past weekend, but this is track # 11, and this video was uploaded in '11. Weird.

If you're familiar with Stone's solo album "Bayleaf", this is very... stone like. I like it wen he sings :)

Stone singing lead

bleed together?

sounds like a soundgarden song i've heard.

This could almost pass off as a Foo Fighters song! It's far more "pop" than the typical Pearl jam song.
