Jeremy Spoke in Class Today outlet [Original Painting]

“At home drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below

Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today”

— Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), “Jeremy”, 1991
