Soon Forget Lyrics
Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette.
Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.
That's one more time around. The sun is going down.
The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting.
Putting people down. He's pissing. He's living a day he'll soon forget.
Counts his money every morning. The only thing that keeps him horny.
Locked in a giant house that's alarming.
The townsfolk they all laugh.
Sorry is the fool who trades his love for hi-rise rent.
Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get.
And it's fitting. He's barley living a day he'll soon forget.
That's one more time around and there is not a sound.
He's lying dead clutching Benjamins. Never put the money down.
He's stiffening. We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget.
Thinks he'll get the girl he'll only get the mechanic.
What's missing? He's living a day he'll soon forget.
The moon is out but he's drunk and shouting.
Putting people down. He's pissing. He's living a day he'll soon forget.
Locked in a giant house that's alarming.
The townsfolk they all laugh.
Seem the more you make equals the loneliness you get.
And it's fitting. He's barley living a day he'll soon forget.
He's lying dead clutching Benjamins. Never put the money down.
He's stiffening. We're all whistling a man we'll soon forget.

on slovenia 2000 bootleg he tells the crowd to listen to the words from the perspective of someone graduating from college, so i think its about a young yuppie who has the world at his feet & gets a bit of cash - and then forgets what he wanted from life in the 1st place..."a man we'll soon forget"
its about how either you can be rich and have anything you want except being loved or you can make a difference in the world by being less selfish and using your time to benefit the world somehow. when you are selfish, no one will remember you when you die because no one cares about people who dont care about people.
One of my favorite Pearl Jam songs ever. So catchy and with such true and important lyrics. Great song.
