Graffiti Literature
Graffiti literature
As the only means
Of spreading a word that isn't
Institutionally stamped
Graffiti literature
Can't be my only release
Because I will be painted over
Before I get to speak
Powerless in all walks of life
But on this wall
You can do what you like
For the night
But I've witnessed daily deaths of Dublin monuments
When every semblance of culture is buried in cement
And it will not end till there is nowhere else left
But vibrant always arrives at derelict again
And again, and again
In memory
Of fallen friends
And their libraries
Well then, well then
Graffiti literature
Can't be my only release
Because I will be painted over
Before I get to speak
Powerless in all walks of life
But on this wall
You can do what you like
For the night
Just don't forget to let every word protest
Against the creative cleanse of your own nest
Or else it might be you who gets turned into the hotel next
But vibrant always arrives at derelict again
And again, and again
In memory
Of fallen friends
And their libraries
Well then, well then
Graffiti literature
Can't be my only release
Because I will be painted over
Before I get to speak
Graffiti literature, why are you seen
As more illegitimate than a publishing company?
When money motivation means no history
Is totally innocent of its author's schemes
As the only means
Of spreading a word that isn't
Institutionally stamped
Graffiti literature
Can't be my only release
Because I will be painted over
Before I get to speak
Powerless in all walks of life
But on this wall
You can do what you like
For the night
But I've witnessed daily deaths of Dublin monuments
When every semblance of culture is buried in cement
And it will not end till there is nowhere else left
But vibrant always arrives at derelict again
And again, and again
In memory
Of fallen friends
And their libraries
Well then, well then
Graffiti literature
Can't be my only release
Because I will be painted over
Before I get to speak
Powerless in all walks of life
But on this wall
You can do what you like
For the night
Just don't forget to let every word protest
Against the creative cleanse of your own nest
Or else it might be you who gets turned into the hotel next
But vibrant always arrives at derelict again
And again, and again
In memory
Of fallen friends
And their libraries
Well then, well then
Graffiti literature
Can't be my only release
Because I will be painted over
Before I get to speak
Graffiti literature, why are you seen
As more illegitimate than a publishing company?
When money motivation means no history
Is totally innocent of its author's schemes
