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)
