My mind is blank it's hard to think
I need to set myself into instant sleep
To wake up enriched, enriched, enriched
I need to wake up rich
And say bye, bye, bye, bye
You hollow pricks
Cause I’m d.i.y and I’m not yours to fix
I got my own plans, thoughts, ideas on how
To make us all be real and forever stay true
To keep on wasting time on what we do
Same dreams, same love as always
We will prove we're not like you
I don’t give a shit about what’s a fact
And I know I’m way too old to act like that
But I still refuse, refuse, refuse, I refuse
And I won't (try to) pretend
To be at ease with your complaints
Cause I’m d.i.y and I’m not yours to fix
I got my own plans, thoughts, ideas on how
To make us all be real and forever stay true
To keep on wasting time on what we do.
Same dreams, same love as always
We will prove we're not like you
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
Boston band featuring members of Have Heart and Basement take their earnest, motivational post-hardcore to thrilling new heights. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 23, 2023
Not a single second of wasted time on this album every song is great in its own way while keeping in line with the patented cloakroom sound of heavy but reassuring/ relaxing all at once. 10/10 release ellis_boyd_redding
