"Swallow My Pride" is a song by the Seattle, Washington-based rock band Green River.
It was later re-recorded by Green River and appeared on the band's sole studio album, Rehab Doll (1988).
[2] "Swallow My Pride" describes a lover's disdain for his girlfriend's feverish American patriotism, characteristic of many so-called Reaganites during the time of the song's writing.
This version is performed with a predominantly punk-esque, simple chord style and does not include Blue Öyster Cult lyrics.
During a Pearl Jam concert in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 30, 1993, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam (both previously in Green River) reunited with Turner and Arm of Mudhoney to cover the song.
