Thanks, Lord
But I don’t need anymore
Poor advice, poor advice
Caught in a cannon with a one way ticket
Four riders in a town with one horse
I wagered a sure thing against what was behind the first door
Stack the chips, let it ride
Out of sight, out of mind
It’s fool proof and it won’t do to make safe bets
While I’m towing the line
I had a lock on a dirty little secret
A raging bull who was fixed to fall down
I’ve been waiting at ringside
My whole life, but he’s still swinging on
I’ve got debts piling high
I’ve got addictions and ex-wives
But I’ve stayed true
So I thank you for bearing witness while I waste my fucking life
I’m ready to pay the judge
To pay the judge
To pay the judge
Now
I need to tip the scale
Some sort of bribery
I’m not waiting this out
I need to pay the judge
To pay the judge
To pay the judge
Now
I need to grease a palm
Some sort of certainty
I’m sick of waiting this out
I should have learned a more noble craft
Out of the library into the lab
Will the machine gunners please step forth?
Will the machine gunners please step forth?
There’s only room on this rescue boat
For butchers and bakers and men with hope
And will the machine gunners please step forth?
Will the machine gunners please step forth?
I wish more bands would have such a unique sound and such an outstanding vocalist like ETID. Bands like this are hard to find. I highly recommend you to check out Pregnant Whale Pain, they just released their debut album, and it's original and heavy too, and their vocalist is insanely good. Check out their "Album Preview 30 Second Samples" video, that should give you an idea of what they sound like, see if you like it.
A) There's nothing wrong with a garage band's intensity. B) They're lyrics are fucking incredible. Songs about esoteric depression, the nature of art, and tongue-in-cheek drinking anthems are all written with equal aplomb and skill. C) The instrumentation combines elements of mathcore with southern rock, garage rock, and hardcore punk. D) Their every song is intense.
Those are the major reasons that I personally like them.
I wasn't crazy about this album when it first came out, but over the couple years it's been out, I have really come around to loving this album as much as Gutter or Big Dirty.
This just goes to prove that ETID can make a song with almost all clean vocals and it'll still be heavier than anything these other derivative metalcore bands could ever create.
