Song lyrics
(You guys ready?)

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

The - mother reads aloud,
Child - tries to understand it,
Tries to make her proud.

The shades go down, it's in 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!

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 be,
The picture kept will remind me,
Don't call me...

The shades go down...
The shades go down...
The shades go... go...

Daughter is a great song, but not one of my favorites. It is way over played on the radio. Pearl Jam is not played enough as it is, so when a station does play them, this isn't really the song I want to hear all the time.

Your right they never play anything but the same songs. I am getting bored of this song. It's ok just pop in one of any of the awesome Jam cd's and your good to go.

exactly why you dont listen to the radio. you gotta go buy the CD for the real good songs. although this is a pretty good song...every once in a while.

This song is one of pearl jams greats. Eddie Vedder is a great singer and the way he sings is so very unique compared to others and pearl jam music is so full of meaning.

Rock on pearl jam!

Es de mis canciones favoritas de Pearl Jam, trozo de inspiración la de Vedder. Quiero aclarar que fue Creed quien le copió el estilo a Pearl Jam y no al contrario, Pearl Jam inició su discografía en 1991 (Ten).
