THE RATS ARE RISING OUT OF THE GUTTER
I WATCH AS MY SMOKE DISSIPATES IN THE LIGHT
SHINING LIKE THE METAL AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
PLAYS AS I DISAPPEAR IN THE NIGHT
IF YOU’RE WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY
I BET THAT YOU’LL PROBABLY BE WAITING FOR GOOD
CAUSE BUDDY I KNOW HOW TO BE A BIGGER PERSON
BUT I JUST AIN’T SO SURE THAT I SHOULD
ANYBODY CAN TELL THAT YOU’RE ACTING
PRACTICING SO HARD TO BE TOUGH
BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN SOMEONE
TOUGHER THAN YOU CALLS OUT YOUR BLUFF
IT’LL NEVER BE ENOUGH
SO WHATTA YA SAY WE STOP WITH ALL THE POSTERING
IT’S ABOUT TIME WE GET OUR EGOS IN CHECK
I DON’T A SHIT HOW BIG YOUR BAND IT
I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE CHECK
BECAUSE THERE’S A REASON WHY WE’RE DYING, TRYING
FLYING HIGHER UP AND ABOVE
WE DON’T DO IT FOR THE MONEY HONEY
NO, WE’RE ONY DOIN’ IT FOR LOVE
AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE ENOUGH
WHEN YOU‘RE WORKIN’ FOR LOVE

Chris Corsano, David Maranha, Richard Youngs showcase their potent improvisational energy across 40 minutes of lush, meditative free jazz. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2021
The Menzingers somehow manage to achieve the sound of punk itself while remaining their entirely own thing. Yet this is an album that only they could make. Hello Exile is a mood. luna_m
