The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAugust


The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Graffiti Worth Reading" from Pin Points and Gin Joints (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary:
"Graffiti worth reading
Rarely is written
On walls that are worth writing on,
So, if that is true,
Then believe me now, you,
Worth reading graffiti is gone.
While the on it get off it,
The days of the prophet
Writing his words on the wall
Have gone now behind us,
But somehow we find ourselves
Desperately reading it all.

"Repent! (Repent!)
Obey! (Obey!)
The end is near!
I tagged and marked
And bragged and barked
That, I was here!…

"When it's all done and stated
Look at what was created
And don't take it out on us all,
Try taking it lighter
And don't blame the writer,
Just do what I do: Blame the wall…"
