lyrics

The battle for the streets is getting tighter.
Hey! Don't die today!
The night is dark but the fight is righteous.
Hey! Don't die today!
You stick your head above the parapet, they're gonna come for ya.
Hey! Don't die today!
So be brave in our new world my brothers and sisters.
Hey! Don't die today!

Cold night!
Hold tight!
You got me hanging on the promise of a better life!
What's right.
Is this fight.
We're dancing on the edge of a switchblade knife.

You're just scared that you're not good enough to go all the way.
But you are!
You'll never see if you quit today.

The battle for the streets is getting tighter.
Hey! Don't die today!
The night is dark but the fight is righteous.
Hey! Don't die today!

Redemption!
Is more than this song!
It's belief, it's a chance and it's in everyone.
When you hit the wall,
You gotta stay strong,
This song is for you.
Arm in arm,
Come along.

You're just scared, you don't fit in and it'll stay that way.
But freedom is a sound,
You'll never hear it if you quit today.

The battle for the streets is getting tighter.
Hey! Don't die today!
The night is dark but the fight is righteous.
Hey! Don't die today!
You stick your head above the parapet, they're gonna come for ya.
Hey! Don't die today!
So be brave in this new world my brothers and sisters.
Hey! Don't die today!

We won't get!
I can't see!
No equality.
The wrong side of history! No I can't see.

People being free!
It's a battle for you and me.
No justice! No peace!
No rest for a fascist police,
In the new model U.K. army.

The battle for the streets is getting tighter.
Hey! Don't die today!
The night is dark but the fight is righteous.
Hey! Don't die today!
You stick your head above the parapet, they're gonna come for ya.
Hey! Don't die today!
So be brave in this new world my brothers and sisters.
Hey! Don't die today!

Just know you're doing ok.
Don't die today.

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq

That album felt like coming home after a long time away but still being proud of everything I'd seen while I was gone. One minute and twenty seven seconds into "Kenver" feels like the culmination of everything I've loved about this band since I was a kid. It feels like the best parts of freedom I've felt on the best nights of my life. Scott
