This morning on my daily walk I decided to listen to some French radio streaming from Paris. I use the app Radio Garden on my phone to listen to various French (and some Greek) radio stations.

This song came on and I must admit, I’ve never heard of Eddie Vedder so listening to the lyrics, I thought it was obviously a song for the times.

Maybe now more people are realising this?

It’s a mystery to me

We have a greed with which we have agreed

And you think you have to want more than you need

Until you have it all, you won’t be free

Society, you’re a crazy breed

I hope you’re not lonely without me

When you want more than you have, you think you need

And when you think more than you want, your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place

Cause when you have more than you think, you need more space

Society, you’re a crazy breed

I hope you’re not lonely without me

Society, crazy indeed

Hope you’re not lonely without me

There’s those thinking more or less, less is more

But if less is more, how you keepin score?

Means for every point you make your level drops

Kinda like you’re startin’ from the top

And you can’t do that

Society, you’re a crazy breed

I hope you’re not lonely without me

Society, crazy indeed I hope you’re not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me I hope you’re not angry if I disagree

Society, you’re crazy indeed I hope you’re not lonely without me.
