Lyrics by：Eddie Vedder/Jeff Ament

Composed by：Eddie Vedder/Jeff Ament

I come from a genius that

I am my father's son

And now he was a psychopath

And now I'm the next in line

Boy you let this mother

Yes surely she's a work of art

I never got top dollar

But she gave us all a star

Can I get a reprieve

This gene pool don't hurt me

Can I beg a release

From the volunteer amputee

From the moment I fell

I called on DNA

Why such betrayal

Got me tooth and nail

Yeah how's about one conversation

With nothing else left to be had

With this your young long lost son

And his never had dear old dad

I forget the insemination and for

That I'm s'posed to be glad

What a pity you left us so soon

To climb your mountain of regret

Can I get a reprieve

Can I volunteer amputee

From the moment I fell

I called on DNA

Can I get a reprieve

This gene pool dark and deep

Can I beg a release

Oh I gotta set sail

All real bright light shining as

You're trying to breathe in thin air

Cannot forget you're hiding collected

Wounds left unhealed

When every thought you're thinking

Sinks you darker than the new moon sky

The far away lights rising

In the whites of your eyes

Yeah

Now father you're dead and gone

And I'm finally free to be me

Thanks for all your ******-up gifts

For which I've got no sympathy

I'm living in a war torn place

Hear the bombs a 5th symphony

Thanks for this and thanks for that

I gotta let go legacy

Can I get a reprieve

Can I volunteer amputee

Can I volunteer amputee

Can I volunteer amputee

From the moment I fell

I called on DNA

Why such betrayal

Oh I gotta set sai

Yeah yeah
