lyrics
We will love as we please,
and build immunity to your disease.
We will not try to appease
You have no control
To the jailers holding the keys,
this is a song for all the detainees.
We are no longer at ease.
You have no control.
No matter what you do.
No matter what you do.
No matter what you do.
Try to blame, try to shame, but the shame is on you.
I see the armor, see the shield
and I felt the anger, what it concealed.
Dig deeper,
I dare you to risk
Underneath the anger what might we miss?
It’s a cold world
The iron fist in the velvet glove
In self-defense, we fight hate with love.
I'm sick to death of dragging that chain, watching what's human in me circle the drain.
But it's mine to unlearn, instead of waiting our turn, imagine if we say,
"get out of our way,”
and watch it burn
supported by 58 fans who also own “The Unreasonable Silence”
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
