Originally known as " Mookie Blaylock," Pearl Jam is a Seattle, WA based rock band, considered to be one of the most popular and influential groups of the 1990s. Along with Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden(often cited collectively as the "big four of grunge" as well as "The Seattle Four"), Pearl Jam helped popularize the grunge movement of the early 1990s. Moreover, they are also the only mainstream grunge band that has remained active since the dissolution of their contemporaries. The band was formed primarily by former members of Mother Love Bonefollowing the death of that band's lead singer Andrew Wood. Based on the recommendation of former Red Hot Chili Peppers(and future Pearl Jam) drummer Jack Irons, Eddie Vedder came to record a demo for guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament and eventually relocated from San Diego to join the band in Seattle.

Gimme Some Truth Lyrics
Pearl Jam
I'm sick and tired of hearing things,
from uptight, short sighted, narrow minded hypocrits,
all I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things,
by nuerotic, psychotic, pig headed politicians,
all I want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
No short haired, yellow bellied, son of tricky Dicky is
gonna mother hubbard, soft soap me with just a pocket full of hope,
money for dope,
money for rope.
I'm sick to death of seeing things,
by tight lipped, condescending, mommies little chauvinistics,
all I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of watching scenes,
of schitzophrenic, egocentric, paranoia primadonnas,
all I want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
No short haired, yellow bellied, son of tricky Dicky is
gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a pocket full of hope,
money for rope,
money for dope,
No short haired, yellow bellied, son of George-Porgey is
gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a pocket full of hope,
it's money for rope,
no blood for rope,
I'm sick and tired of hearing things,
from uptight, short sighted, narrow minded hypocrits,
all I want is the truth,
just gimme some truth,
I've had enough of reading things,
by nuerotic, psychotic, homophobic hypocrits,
all I want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
all we want is the truth,
just give us the truth,
we can handle the truth,
just give us some truth,
share with us the truth,
we'll give you our truth.
