Kenosha Baby from Claiborne Avenue by Doctor Lo

KENOSHA BABY

Kenosha baby
You blew me apart
How can I ever forget your name
Kenosha baby
You broke my heart
And I don’t think that I, however I try
Can ever be the same

Well Kyle you were cute
In your policeman suit
And your sweet captain’s hat
Kyle I give you so much credit for that
But you walked in half assed
And the shit got real fast
Coulda stayed home in bed
Now you shot three men dead
Who put all those dumb ideas in your sweet head?

And my sweet teenage friend
Your 15 minutes will end
But the lives that you took
Kyle, there ain't no way to close up that book

Burning and smashing, it's all in good fun
But now my revolutionaries look what you've done
You made little Kyle leave Illinois with his gun
I’m so sorry my son
I’m sorry for what you done

Kenosha baby
You blew me apart
How can I ever put out these flames
Kenosha baby
You broke my heart
And I don’t think that I, however I try
Can ever be the same

Oh Kyle child I bet
You could be a star
Can’t even buy a cigarette
But Kyle somehow you can carry an AR

Cause this is America where shit is insane
Where some eyes see murder and think "how can I gain"
And Julia Jackson please let me explain
Your words were so beautiful but there’s an oncoming train
Speeding down the track, 500 miles an hour
And there’s no looking back, and its fury and power
Are carrying us home
Carry me home

Kenosha baby
You blew me apart
How can I ever win this game
Kenosha baby
You broke my heart
And I don’t think that I, however I try
Can ever be the same

And I don’t think that I, however I try
Can ever be the same
