Songtexte Daughter (Live) - Pearl Jam

Alone, listless
Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violence
The center of her own attention

So now mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it, and
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down into her head
Painted room, can't deny there's something wrong

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above, yeah
Oh

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me

Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me

(The shades go down)
(The shades go down)
The shades go down
Go

Oh, oh yeah, hey
Hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Whoa, hey

He won the lottery when he was born
Big hand slapped a white male Irishman
Trained like dogs, color and smell
Walks by him to get to hell
Policeman, policeman
A-ha
Whoa

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ah, ah, ah
