lyrics

SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER
TAKE YOUR CASH, NOW YOU'RE UP FOR RENT
LOOK AT YOU, YOU'RE THE BIGGEST WINNER
SOMETHINGS WRONG CAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSE

DON'T YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST NOW
WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST
DON'T THEY KNOW, WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST NOW
WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST___________________________

TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIFE YOU'RE LIVING
DOES IT FEEL LIKE YOU'VE LOST YOUR WAY
BOW YOUR HEAD AND YOU'LL BE FORGIVEN
NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ANYWAY

DON'T YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST NOW
WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST
DON'T THEY KNOW, WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST NOW
WHAT ARE WE UP AGAINST___________________________

IT TAKES A LOT TO BE OVER RATED
SEEMS TO ME YOU'VE DONE QUITE WELL
NO ONE CARES CAUSE WE'RE ALL SEDATED
WATCH THE WORLD AS IT GOES TO HELL

This record is RAW For real, the description tells all. Pulls no punches, says it straight. I appreciate the forthright approach and utter disdain for ambiguity. Just saw them in Vancouver. They did not, so far as I could tell, play even a single track from this record. I believe this is testament to the verity of this EP; singing the words "Twice Her Age" and "Rapist A-List" is probably a hard gamble whilst on the road Nonetheless, this record whips ass and you should pay triple for it asap. hologram_sam

Two Worlds Collide
by October Burns Black

supported by 4 fans who also own “What Are We Up Against Now”

First full lenght album by the band, preceded by the two excellent EP's 'Fault Line' and 'Reflections'. In line with their now characteristic sound and influences, October Burns Black deliver a great collection of tracks whose spell is impossible to resist. Classy and classic gothic rock at it's best.
