She’s getting the itch, yeah she’s ready to go
She’s plotting a big escape
She’s rounding up friends and they’re hitting the road and they’ll drive and drive for days
But she knows it’s getting warmer every day
And she knows the skies get darker every day
He’s got a new job and he makes a good wage
He’s driving an SUV
He’s getting a three bedroom home for himself
And a new flatscreen TV
But he knows the seas are rising, rising
He knows the ice is melting, the fields have all been paved
But he still keeps buying, buying buying
It’s how he was brought up, so this is how he stays
The West has screwed us all with entitlement
If we’re so damn evolved, how did we make this hell?
We’re consuming ourselves
I’m ready to explode, I want the open road
But I don’t want, I don’t want the blame
We cannot just survive, we want the good life
But we don’t want, we don’t want the blame
And we know it’s getting hotter every day
Let’s hope our kids won’t feel too betrayed

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
