No, Pennsylvania is the Reason

from ...Compared to Giants by Ma Jolie

lyrics

The easiest thing to do is not to car about anyone or anything. Stay inside and never open up. 'Cause one friend is enough and you're scared of everything that they will think. They'll tear you up.

Don't take what you get, you're better than that. Quit holding your breath and praying for air. When did this ever get you what you wanted? You pray for the sky, but stare at the ground. Look alive, this could be the last time. When did this ever get you what you wanted?

It's only fair that it would be so simple. True dreamers, they always win. They always come up on the right side of living.

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr
