lyrics

Beautiful/Ugly
Life is Beautiful, Ugly and it’s lovely, disgusting, All the things full of beauty soon turn out to be putrid, All the rotting and rancid it’s all just so romantic, civilizations advances better ways to enhance its ways of mechanized slaughter
Stick your toes in the water, feel the oceans get hotter. Like a beautiful lobster or a frog on a burner, everything decomposes, it’s all coming up roses, we’re all pushing up daisies it could make you go crazy, it could make you go crazy
Well sun rises sets and the burnt cigarettes in the gutter the sputter of engines it all drives me on, and the winter and summer it’s all such a bummer the limos by Hummer it all comes a tumblin’ down, the lightning and thunder the pillage the plunder the tearing asunder the breakthroughs and blunders the wretched and wonderful things that the people can do, the smelling of flowers the gunmen in towers the smiling babies the pack dogs with rabies the loveliest, ugliest poem you ever will read
Life is beautiful, ugly it’s infected and pussing, like the home that you wanted soon turned out to be haunted, and the ghosts are all hungry, wanting products and money, it’s all milky with honey then it’s starving and angry and the war drums are banging
Hear the beat of the drummer march in line like a soldier, stand in line like I told ya, settle down and get older, watch the disintegration lose your imagination, worry lots ‘bout inflation monuments to stagnation, depression, elation
Well It’s raining, it's pouring, exciting and boring, awake or ignoring, it all drags me down down down in the ground ground ground. And the seasons are changing, the stars rearranging, the leaves are all falling in piles of brown brown brown on the ground, And the weeds are all growing we’re reaping and sowing and ebbing and flowing and waxing and waning and singing complaining and loving and hating at once, Because we’re goodness and evil and humble conceited and loving and cheating and kindly deceiving transmitting receiving and giving and taking and real and faking reliably breaking down down down in the ground down down down in the ground

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

Quite a departure from the wild territories they ventured into with their major label releases. So far, the greatest thrash metal I've heard released in the 2020's. Plus, it's not everyday you hear Rhea Perlman on a metal record. t0cktock
