lyrics

We thought the war was over.
We had one hell of a time.
So we folded the colors
and packed up the front lines

The cause it was lost.
The moment never would last.
And now we hang our ragged souls
at half-mast.

Stand up now boys look ‘em dead in the eyes.
You’ll never forget this day for the rest of your lives.
No earthly fear can keep your spirits down

(Chorus)
Get your flag up off the ground
and raise it high
it’s too late to look back now
Get your flag up off the ground
and raise it high
no more hiding underground

Our best days behind us.
No more storming the gates.
Caught at the edge of a dawn
that never breaks.

But a voice came calling,
and my blood gave a start,
“it’s time to stand up, jump start,
and re-enlist your heart.”

I spent all my money, I spent all my will,
trying hard to drag that star up the hill.
But, trust me, you don’t want to know how far I fell.

(Chorus)

We were wide awake before the sun,
weary and wounded, speaking in tongues
when a call came down the line:
“look sharp now boys, it’s time to rise.”

(Chorus)

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool

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
