Biography

Red Animal War is a rock band from Dallas, Texas that started in 1998 as Jeff Wilganoski, Jamie Shipman, Matt Pittman, and Justin Wilson. During the recording of their first album, Brian Pho replaced Jamie Shipman. Jeff Davis replaced Brian Pho in 2004, and Tony Wann came on as second drums later that year. Todd Harwell replaced Jeff Wilganoski in 2006, and after a SXSW performance the band went on indefinite hiatus. They released four records and two seven-inches, and showed up on many compilations. They toured Europe three times and North America many times over. J. Robbins, Ed Rose and Darrell LaCour produced records for them and the band gets their name from this quote: "The greater part of the untested men appeared quiet and absorbed. They were going to look at war, the red animal—war, the blood-swollen god." - Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage.

LYRICS

call your cancer
call it well
the truth?
my friend we know you're scared
do you pray and beg for time?
it's staring you in the face. goodnight
i chose the less than traveled road
the rest of the country must know something
yeah there's nothing quite like the truth
come make us see-ers and believers in you
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(it's the money and the church)
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(they're trading old souls in for new ones)
you're making it hard for everyone
the fear in your head is true in time
a doctor's note:
"this is the end of the line."
and there's only two to know
through the fields and through the snow
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(you bet on boxing-he'll bet on jesus)
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(so glad to know we'll die for gods we'll never meet)
you're making it hard for everyone
i get a little bit of reason
i give a little bit back tonight
and there's something with this season
yeah there's nothing that's right
it makes everything right tonight
calm your conscience
call it well
if you don't you'll burn in hell
at least that's what the righteous say
they'll fight forever to get your soul
jump in these dead leaves and all our fall-inspired songs
for loss of words we'll make music for you to dance along to
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(as you're claiming you're wise to the afterlife)
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
you're making it hard for everyone
