lyrics

We've been pushed down for far too long
They kept us blinded to what's going on
Hard times are coming
There's no time for running away
We can back down to their stale beliefs
Or we can stand up and bare our teeth
The choice is yours
The future starts today

Their numbers are thinning
It's just the beginning
Compassion's in fashion, my friend
I'll bet my empathy
Against their bigotry
Ignorance won't win again

Thieves hold the coffers
Wolves on the thrown
There's no more saviors
We have to make our own
(Taking final offers, democracy's been sold)

To the laughed at and the left behind
To those struggling to find peace of mind
At the end of the day
Our pride is all we keep
But if we stand up as a united force
We can break rank and change the course
We can show them all that we won't be bought so cheap

Status and wealth Don't define sense of self
Keep your dignity firm in your grasp
Tear down the monuments
To their intolerance
Dance in the smoldering ash

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit alienasu

The acoustic versions of these songs are so strong that they sound like different songs entirely. Kudos trevallen81

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
