    General Comment:No matter what anyone says, I am going to bank on this: Red Bar does not have lyrics. Listen to the lack of voice clarity and the crunching sound of the percussion instrument and the odd, digital, distorted sound of the instrumental. I am going to bet that this song is made up of part of another song, played backwards at different speeds. Listen to each time the "lyrics" are repeated. They are almost identical, other than the speed. Also, the double voice, as if the singer is singing a duet with someone else. I would bet 50 bucks that this song is nothing more than the "I'll stop trying to make a difference, I'm not trying to make a difference" section of No Way, also from Yield, played backwards at different speeds.
    The tracks "Pry To" and "Hey Foxymophandlemamma That's Me" also called "Stupidmop" from Vitalogy have the same vacuum-sounding guitar, percussion sound not really indicitave of any drumhead, and weird, low-clarity vocals, so I am gonna guess they are the same idea... parts of another track or maybe unused material, played backwards at various speeds.

    General Comment:I thought it was "We're all crazy, we're all crazy and we're". I checked the Pearl Jam website and that's the lyrics I found there.

    General Comment:I'm glad PJ got away from their habit of putting really bizarre tracks like this on albums...it's a cool beat, but think how many good songs got B-sided for "red dot" "aye davanita" "pry to" "bugs" the list goes on...

    General Comment:the lyrics can be whatever you want them to be as long as it has war in it you have the meaning.
    in the album theres a picture of some really dark place for this song and the building looks like a place where at ww2 the nazis put the jewish people and everyone else they hated. i think siense (cant spell that word) jack is jewosh and he wrote that song i think thats what its about.
