Raise It High

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)

Three down five more to go
It ain't like they don't know
I want 'em to get their things and go
I'm sick of all these people that can't speak to me
Unless they've found something to drink.
A cold cup of coffee's on the window pane
Where it's been since you left yesterday
The next thing I knew I was under you
With your worn out shoes next to my boots
Maybe we no longer know who we're supposed to be
Feelings aren't cheap but around here somehow
Everyone finds them for free
Trains loaded with slow as much as coal
Haul the night home while you two smoke
And I don't know who you are anymore
What you're wanting or what you're looking for
Maybe we no longer know who we're supposed to be
Feelings aren't cheap but around here somehow
Everyone finds them for free

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" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸

I know... late to the party.... but I read somewhere that this is a mixture of replacements and early GGD and thought I'd check it out.... really like it.

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!!

Indie rock with that late '90s approach: burbling melody, a literary bent, and a restless heart.
