about

a song about the loss of all ages venue and the general decline of the local music scene

lyrics

I’ve never known an array as pure as this; where everybody cares for one another.
The city brought them close.
Their personalities kept them there.
Everyone was ecstatic for the music.
Then the government came with their fists clenched tight.
They tore the whole place down.
Oh, the people’s plight.
Nowhere to go, no one left to turn around.
I’ve got to pick my knuckles up off the ground.
You may kill the leech but you’ll never kill the host.
If I have to, I’ll do this on my own.
It’s my turn to reignite the flame of community.
It’s my turn to give the next generation a shot.
It’s my turn to interpret what I was taught.
What’s the worst that could happen?
