Pearl Jam, “Working” Lyrics
Received me operating
Received me operating, received me operating
However the race, it by no means ends
Received me operating, or else I am achieved in
You bought me coming as you are going
And the chase, it by no means ends
I will be operating until the second comingDictator, love hater
Misplaced within the tunnel and the tunnel ain’t no enjoyable
Now I am misplaced in all of the shit you are flushing
Victrola, controller
Misplaced within the tunnel and the tunnel’s getting funneled
Just like the sewage within the plumbing
‘Trigger we left the fucking water operatingReceived me operating
Received me diving, received me diving
Received me deep, I get the bends
After I’m summoned, or too late coming
You bought me operating, received me operating
However the race, it by no means ends
I am feeling achieved in, it is quite gorgeousDictator, love hater
Misplaced within the tunnel and the tunnel ain’t no enjoyable
Now I am misplaced in all of the shit you are flushing
Victrola, controller
Misplaced within the tunnel and the tunnel’s getting funneled
Just like the sewage within the plumbing
‘Trigger we left the fucking water operatingWas cleared for, for raise off
Aborted my take off
Dwelling within the shadows, crossing my fingers
A date with the gallows and a reprieve not trying seeminglyYou bought me operating
You bought me operating
You bought me operating
You bought me operating
