make the same mistakes
each and every time
that's just the way it goes
ain't it
carve up all the towns
don't stand in their way
reach across the aisle
those are the rules
the levers we devised
keep the money in their hands
got banks and billionaires on board
a whole year and a half
breathless, speculate
do another million polls
now you're out on the trail
screaming for my vote
a sawdust circus
on which we choke
make the same mistakes
each and every time
that's just the way it goes
ain't it
let's just go to war
don't stand in their way
reach across the aisle
those are the rules
rise up tear the whole thing down

doctor? i've got this axe sticking out of my head and i'm bleeding
(have you tried losing weight? we've got to get you on an exercise plan)
it might be better if you tried removing the axe from my head first
(let's send you through all these tests to make sure it's not just how fat you are)
outcome!
baby i'm an outcome!
tick me off tick me off tick me off tick me off yr list
got no name
got no story
just an outcome
doctor? i managed to get the axe out but then i was running on the beach and i don't know what happened but as you can see a shark has eaten a good portion of my
(let me stop you right there. i'm so disappointed! you seem to have packed on the pounds since i saw you last!)
well the shark is pretty heavy and i'm really in pain and
(let's get you to the gym four or five times a week! that'll fix you for sure!)
doctor? i'm speaking to you from beyond the grave. i'm a ghost, so
(this is great! you weigh almost nothing! slim and trim! can't imagine why you're here!)
i'd really like to come back from beyond the veil but i'm obligated to haunt you
(you owe the hospital eleventy!! billion!! dollars!! please see the billing department on yr way out)
just trying to have a body i can feel safe in
just trying to have a body

too anxious
just leave this place
get safe now
you don't owe 'em shit
race through the back door
into the grey streets
pretend to take a phone call
it'll take off the heat
climb through the window
ooze through the floorboards
have to leave this room right now
can't do this no more
turn yrself into a cat
in the bathroom, disappear
they won't know yr secret
they won't look for you here

knocked me down the first time
bleeding from my mouth and nose
face down on the pavement
"this is how you learn to grow"
if you had only known then
i was brave enough to save my life
last through all the punches
stronger every time you tried
again, again
could i find the words this time to say
you can't even imagine
i've been through much worse than you
i know the bites and scrapes and
how to hold on through it all like glue
yr childish taunts are garbage
they barely even glance my skin
the baddest bitch from hell is
glowing from the fuel within

when you're taking up that space
remember who you take it from
it's not just men who feel pushed out
it's not just men you won't let in
bought a shirt that
says you're a feminist
didn't raise funds for anyone
at least yr brand it is secure
how you treat yr people now
matters more'n you think it does
if you suck us dry and move along
we'll remember it for our whole lives
when you're giving all those quotes
remember who you stole them from
when you've got that big paycheck
remember who doesn't

callous crow
on the power lines
thirty years a talking head
callous crow
never moving
got expertise to share with everyone
all these voices
sound so strange
not in languages you know
we must be wrong
be put in our place
the canon wasn't made for us
it's just art
void of context
get out of the way!
callous crow
writing essays
got thoughts you've got to get down
callous crow
speaking plainly
says the quiet part out loud
got shut down
got fed up
get out of the way!
callous crow
sucking up air
dropping sticks in all of the new pools
lest we forget
you've gotten stuck
singing that same old broken tune
if i wanted yr opinion
i would have asked

we rest
like flies
yr neighborhood
it will soon die
bring in all the condos
glass fronts
keep out all of you
you're the blight
i was taught to ignore
blue line
start fights
i've gotta get there first
it's my right
vape stores
all down
the block where the clinic was
it attracted the wrong sort
i can't control my life
so i'll drink until i cry
you make less than me, right?
so displacing you's just fine
neon in the windows
sports bars
let rideshare plebes
drive the cars
i've got my e-scooter
for the night
call the cops on brown kids
but i can make noise
no empathy
get mine
drive up all the rents
it's just fine
still no grocery here
but we've got two targets now! you can thank me for that!

one last time
what we want
to just be heard
a living wage
overworked
underfed
we take care of each other
we're all we've got left this time
give us now
what we want
voices of resilience
we will not be moved
hold the line

came to town with all their guns drawn
came to town again
a factory closed against the dawn
waits for that heavy tread
when we said never again we meant it
most especially not in our names
this rot will break a town wide open
rip children from their parents' arms
all of us are bound together
anyone who's been the Other
lock our arms and keep them safe
tear down every prison wall
freedom now, now

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!!
