At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops With him on top, lemon yellow Sun Arms raised in a V 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 Clearly I remember picking on the boy Seemed a harmless little fuck Oh, but we unleashed a lion Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast How could I forget? And he hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurting Oh, dropped wide open Just like the day Oh, like the day I heard Daddy didn't give affection, no And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear King Jeremy, the wicked Oh, ruled his world Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Try to forget this Try to erase this From the blackboard Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in, spoke in Jeremy spoke in, spoke in Jeremy spoke in class today (Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in) (Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in) (Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in) (Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in) (Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)

A canção foi escrita pelo baixista Jeff Ament e pelo vocalista Eddie Vedder, inspirada em um artigo de jornal sobre um garoto que cometeu suicídio diante da classe.
O vídeo musical, dirigido por Mark Pellington e lançado em 1992, entrou em pesada rotação na MTV e em 1993 recebeu quatro MTV Video Music Awards, incluindo Melhor Vídeo do Ano.
"Jeremy" alcançou a quinta posição tanto nas paradas Billboard Mainstream Rock quanto Modern Rock quando foi lançada como terceiro single do álbum de estreia Ten, em 1992.
A introdução e o final da gravação destacam o uso proeminente do baixo Hamer de 12 cordas de Jeff Ament, criando a melodia descendente que se repete ao longo da faixa.
A música aparece na coletânea de maiores sucessos da banda, Rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991‑2003), consolidando seu lugar entre os principais hits do Pearl Jam.
