Parody At The Masquerade - Lyrics - We Are The Fury
The group was founded as The Fury in Toledo, Ohio in 2004. Prior to forming the band, all original members played in local Toledo, OH bands during junior high and highschool. The band met in the local music scene and played in a variety of other small area acts before starting The Fury, a name they chose inspired by one of their first songs "Pretty Boy Fury." The band released a self-titled EP in 2005. Shortly after releasing the EP, the band was forced to change their name to We Are The Fury due to legal reasons. In the summer of 2005, they signed to One Big Spark Records in the Summer of 2005, and had to change their name to We Are the Fury for legal reasons. The band re-released their EP as Infinite Jest through the label in 2006, and released their debut full length album, titled Venus, May 22, 2007. They were named an "Artist to Watch" by Rolling Stone in 2007. In June 2008, the band was released from their recording contract with OneBigSpark due to the label going under. Chris Hatfield and Jeremy Lublin went on to start a band called New Romans with Craig Bonich of Head Automatica and formerly Jaguar Love, Rick Penzone of Men Women and Children, and Jon Safley formerly of Lemon Sun. The band was also featured at SXSW in 2006 and 2007, CMJ in 2005, 2006, and 2007, Bamboozle in 2007, as well as numerous college festivals, parties and showcases. Chris is currently a Graphic Designer and Jeremy is currently the lead singer of New York based glam rock band Jeremy & The Harlequins. Songs written for the first album by Romans have appeared on Under The Dome, and other television shows, and a reworked version of Roman material "Trip Into The Light" was featured in the Tom Cruise film Edge of Tomorrow under the Harlequins moniker. A Song by the Harlequins was also licensed for a cruise ship advertising campaign.
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
I tried to be a man
I tried to play the part
Thinking growing up was reaching out and thinking on our own
I've learned a little bit and figured out the truth
that everyone just wants to tell you what to do
I've covered all the facts and stood them in a row
and after shooting all the ducks down I deciphered out the code
That it is just a trick and we are all pawns while the king and queen push us along
I know that the whole world is spinning around
I've taken all I can
I've taken a bit more
I've been dealt a deck of cards to find, the game is just a bore
Oledged my allegiance well to a cause I cannot mend
then to realize that this fight was all pretend
Who knew that the whole world is spinning around?
Though they have different faces, it's all the same
while we are left to play their game
And what do I have left but a thin pile of sand that has broken out the hourglass
and jumped into my hand,
a simple grain of salt alone in outer space
revolving around a start to spawn a race
