lyrics

You think you’re special? You’re nothing special
Anyone can do what you do
Cuz those chords and that voice
Are never gonna see things through
What you need to push it over, you know there’s just a chosen few
So you head to the back of the queue

Uh-huh-huh

You’re only as good as the one on the throne
They’re the folks who make sense of it all
Pulling together your well-worn threads
Decoding your illegible scrawl
Open up your point of view, no matter how meager or small
And just flat out kickin’ the stall

Uh-huh-huh

So you gotta give the drummer some
Give the drummer some
You gotta give the drummer some
Give the drummer some cash

There are times they’ll brush you off,
but you know it’s never personal
You’re a friend, but then again
sometimes it’s transactional
Just forget it, you won’t regret it cuz it sounds so subliminal
Bordering irrational

Uh-huh-huh

Give the drummer some cash
Try to make it last

Coriky
by Coriky

supported by 4 fans who also own “Give the Drummer Some ($$)”

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
