Karenwood

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

 

We gotta hunt till it’s all dead

We gotta shoot it in the head

We gotta understand what we’re living for

Ohh Karenwood

 

We gotta fight till we’ve got peace

We gotta spit on our own streets

I gotta understand the reason for

Ohh Karenwood

 

We got love and we’ve got hate

We got plans and we’ve got fate

We gotta understand ‘fore it’s too late

Ohh Karenwood

 

The community blames the victim

The community is to blame

 

Some got money and others don’t

Some find love and others won’t

Some believe in a higher power

Ohh Karenwood

 

(harp solo)

 

We’ve got guns to clear our sights

We believe we have the right

A shot rings out in the night

Ohh Karenwood

 

We got a box that feeds us fear

They say it’s safer over here

I don’t believe the lies they tell me

Ohh Karenwood

 

We’ve got flowers and we’ve got friends

We’ve got holes we have to mend

The widow weeps alone

Ohh Karenwood

 

The community blames the victim

The community is to blame

 

Some got power and others don’t

Some will cry and others won’t

I wake up to the moon

Ohh Karenwood

 

(harp solo)
