Jarle Bernhoft - Prayer to a Landlord lyrics

Smog is drifting aimlessly over these crowded streets Gloomy houses do their best to keep people in Dark days approaching, the brick lanes get lethal Under cheap signs in cardboard I see faces shine With struggles and pride Keep it all, keep it alive I understand how you're thinking Your profits are shrinking I know, it must hurt your feelings But these streets were built by my brothers, my sisters, dads and mothers Keep it alive, don't extort souls for malls Keep it alive, ain't just bricks gonna fall Take a look around the town and tell me what you see Where would you like to sit down and have a drink on me? My treat totally, just follow my lead So leave you credit cards at home for one day No shares sold today Watch this town when it's alive It might just blow your top off Make you laugh, or make you swallow I know, I've seen it every day Nuns, students, beggars, thieves and workmen Your own kind if you let them Keep it alive, don't extort souls for malls Keep it alive, ain't just bricks gonna fall
