Lords of Kensington

Dawn breaks Take in the view See the world change from the one that I once knew Walk past the pot shop Owned by the cop Bring back the day when someone would've glued those locks Pigs were lurking in the parkette So never make a wrong step or it's a ride to Cherry Beach Now amnesty's a dream Legalization was a scheme And they lie through their fucking teeth And the arrests won't stop and thе prices don't drop As they watch all the profits roll in So now I'm caught up in thе past Just trying to change the facts We overwrote the map Just trying to get back When you crack the façade you can see the truth We lived our lives like they were only ours to lose Where was the place we used for shows Now it's buried underneath where the condo grows We were the lichen We let them in As we rose, all the other lights dimmed I remember Dean Handing out his zine And flyers for upcoming shows Now it's been a few years I wonder if he's still here Sadly that's the way life goes And we all gotta stop once we make it to the top And acknowledge all the damage we've done So now I'm caught up in the past Just trying to change the facts We overwrote the map Now I'm trying to get back When you crack the façade you can see the truth We lived our lives like they were only ours to lose So now I'm caught up in the past Just trying to change the facts We overwrote the map And I'm trying to get back Crack the façade and you'll see the truth We lived our lives like they were only ours to lose
