Prayer To A Landlord Lyrics - Ceramik City Chronicles - Jarle Bernhoft

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
