lyrics
call your favorite bookmarked savior
your patient blessed neighbor
the one who made you that nice warm pie
and would he carry us now?
stop the cops from coming, Amy
don’t you see this isn’t what we’re saying
can’t we just settle this like grown men
with our hammers and fists now?
I promise we’ll do better
promises are like a wet dog in here
stinking up the place but he’s sure cute and sweet and helpless
pity on us all now
I promise we mean better
we just keep getting our hands caught in the honey jar
leaving those sticky fingerprints on every surface
I'm so sorry for the mess we keep making
pity on us all now
you pick your own fight, don’t you
like a marked man, yeah, you’re a marksman
you got your ducks all in a row
line ‘em up and shoot ‘em
they're so proud of you, Harold! look at you go!
now take your prize and leave
a little trophy never mattered much for anyone
and if we let them pick their end date
we’ll remove the labels and watch the fruit rot on the table
pity on the world now
buy your worth
it's all we know
would you sell your soul
to the highest bid
buy it back for tenfold
it’s all we know
your patient blessed neighbor
the one who made you that nice warm pie
and would he carry us now?
stop the cops from coming, Amy
don’t you see this isn’t what we’re saying
can’t we just settle this like grown men
with our hammers and fists now?
I promise we’ll do better
promises are like a wet dog in here
stinking up the place but he’s sure cute and sweet and helpless
pity on us all now
I promise we mean better
we just keep getting our hands caught in the honey jar
leaving those sticky fingerprints on every surface
I'm so sorry for the mess we keep making
pity on us all now
you pick your own fight, don’t you
like a marked man, yeah, you’re a marksman
you got your ducks all in a row
line ‘em up and shoot ‘em
they're so proud of you, Harold! look at you go!
now take your prize and leave
a little trophy never mattered much for anyone
and if we let them pick their end date
we’ll remove the labels and watch the fruit rot on the table
pity on the world now
buy your worth
it's all we know
would you sell your soul
to the highest bid
buy it back for tenfold
it’s all we know

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!!

PIB is my favourite hardcore band. I love their sound and aggression. No one does it like them. It’s a perfect blend of hardcore, punk, grunge, dirty and grimey. PIB ‘til I DIE

Total Reality
by Dr Sure's Unusual PracticeAdopting an optimistic, genre-fluid mindset atypical to most contemporary punk rock, the Aussies rage against the machine with glee.

This album is amazing from start to finish! It's got such a cool, poetic, punk rock vibe. Hits the soul, for real. Please come play in Miami, Florida soon! Thank you for your art!
