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
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 the arrests won't stop and thе prices don't drop

So now I'm caught up in thе past

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

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
