lyrics

here we go again skipping all the stones
who will ever know how can anyone believe
that what they're fed will eradicate a hunger
that exists within their own reality

maybe half of what we have is more than we need
but no one wants to be the first to throw away
we build machines to make machines that run machines
and break our backs when we can't carry what they weigh

who's going to carry all the weight of our own reality

all we have is everything but sometimes we'll do anything
to dig ourselves a hole that's deep enough so all we see is all the dirt
that keeps a dead man from his dreams and all that's living from us
all the words that people say about the fact that we should change
the way we live from sun until moon are gasoline that soak the pages
written by the hands that scratch the heads that try to understand it
and someone has been busy building something that somebody said
will serve some kind of purpose in the days and years that lay ahead
if you want it you can have it they say it only gets better
they're only trying to make it better for us all

Most hardcore bands barely last a few years, & have a revolving door of band members. Up Front has managed to last over 25 years (part-time for the last 20 years), & with the exception of a few changes early on, the lineup has remained intact. Up Front's latest shows were in 2005, 2009 & 2010, drawing their set list from early releases like the Spirit LP through their last 7" released in 1999. ... more
