I Got ID

About I Got ID

"I Got Id" is a song by the American rock band Pearl Jam featuring Neil Young. Written by vocalist Eddie Vedder, "I Got Id" appears as the A-side to the 1995 Merkin Ball EP. The song reached number two on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, number three on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, and peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was included on Pearl Jam's 2004 greatest hits album, rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991–2003). The song's name is "I Got Id" (as in the Freudian concept of id) and not "I Got ID" (as in a form of identification), a frequent mistake in labeling the album's songs. "I Got Id" is also known as "I Got Shit" by the band and its fans, due to the actual lyrics of the song, "I got memories, I got shit..." It is rumored that when Vedder proposed the idea of a single to Epic, the label made him change the title of the song. more »

My lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
Been a month since I've even heard myself talk
Only advantage this life's got on me
Picture empty cup in the middle of the sea

And I fought back in my mind
Never lets me be right, I got memories, I got shit
So don't you go and show it

Oh, I walked the line, when you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line, when you held my hand at night

On empty shells seem so easy to crack
Got all these questions 
Don't know who I could even ask
So I'll just lie, and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly as you're lookin' at me

And I sent you to bed 
Oh, in a little while I'll see now
If just once I found true love
Oh, I'd say it like I mean it

But I walked the line
When you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held my hand at night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held me close at night
I paid the price
Never held you in real life

My lips are shakin'.
