I was in Paris
Before the shots were fired
I can't imagine how it feels
To be caught in the chaos
To fear for your life
The primal instinct to survive
To keep us alive
Waiting for disaster, stacking up supplies
Don't need guns to protect what is mine,
Ready me for battle, I’ll fight for my ideas
Arm me with words, they can't read, they cannot see
I was in Oslo
When the killer was caught, and detained
The state of shock is hard to grasp
But I was amazed, how people grew
Got together and with peace, got back up for their beliefs
So we can believe
Waiting for disaster, stacking up supplies
Don't need guns to protect what is mine,
Ready me for battle, I’ll fight for my ideas
Arm me with words, they can't read, they cannot see
I wanna live, I wanna breathe
Give everyone all that they need
Put down the knife, Open the door,
Less for the rich, more for the poor.
Waiting for disaster, stacking up supplies
Don't need guns to protect what is mine,
Ready me for battle, I’ll fight for my ideas
Arm me with words, they can't read, they cannot see
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
