Hard times will come, good times will go
Your friends will depart, you’ll stand alone
Face to face with your demons, just you and yourself
No one to turn to, ain’t no one else
So what do you do, lay down and die
Stay in the darkness, hang your head and cry
Or do you stand proud, walk on your own
Stare down the world though you’re all alone
Chorus:
Walk Tall, Stand Proud – Always hold your ground
Walk Tall, Stand Proud – Never backing down!
Betrayal’s a bitch when you’re stabbed in the back
Kicked while you’re down, beaten blue and black
Could be a coward, it’s so easy to do
Put one in your head, be done and through
But look in the mirror, find the strength to move on
It doesn’t matter that your friends are all gone
‘cause you’ve got yourself, that’s all you need
So grab hold of your balls and get back to your feet
In the moment of darkness, in the shadow of doubt
Back’s to the wall, looking for an out
No one to guide you, you’re fixing to break
On your last nerve, how much can you take
It’s easy just to give up, lose yourself there in the dark
To forget the good you done, to miss the fucking mark
To let the fire die out, to fade into the night
But now it’s time to rise up – STEP INTO THE LIGHT!
So Im not sure how this band got past me,but Im glad I finally took a peak at how they sound. Great Oi/ Punk from another top notch Boston band. Harsh and angry ( in all the besy ways) this band knocks it outta the park. The price for this offering and the " Tape 2" make picking up The Stance's stuff a no-brainer. File this im Badass Boston Oi to wreck shit by!" East Bay Working Class
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
I'm not sure what they put in the water in the state of PA.,but whatever it is produces tough as nails Oi. Boot Rally has that great gruff American Oi sound that I love. Its a soundtrack for a 40 hour week-- or for breaking a bottle over some mouthy prick's head. East Bay Working Class
