YOU SEE THEM EVERY DAY
OJO 2004

Graffiti kids without identity
tagging down the city
so they don't have to get totally lost
when they are wandering around in the wilderness
searching for a meaning in their miserable lonely life
so they can find a way away from insanity
but the street signs are changed permanently
so there is no way ever to be found
the kids on the street are bound to go down
and you and me we give them our professional help
tickets and files and youth homes and jail
so they can get a bed to sleep in for a day or two
and so we let them out
to be free and continue with a sort of life
and sometimes we just blow them completely away
if they dare to come too close to our grocery

Do you think it is pretty
all those colors and pictures
and names of the members alive or dead
or do you think that it is a petty

Graffiti kids without identity
tagging down every spare place they can find
so they can get in control of the new ones
who are coming in great hirds by the hour
and we all know where they all come from

but we don't want to be reminded of those
young
future brides to the though ones who leads
the way
but first they have to show that they have
guts
and want to belong to the gang
so they have to serve the well dressed business
men
but sometimes they drag home a sexual disease
and the result is another broken family
and the wheel keeps on turning
and the kids are burning themselves
because there is no other way to survive
this kind of hell
and we support them with our love every single
day
since we enjoy to see all those
wonderful pictures
painted with real blood and tears
in great fear

Graffiti kids without any hope at all
tagging down their souls
and it can never be cleaned or washed away
because we seem to want it in this peculiar way forever
since we don't do anything to stop it
graffiti kids will some day tag your property
and maybe even you
and what will you do then my friend
call for the over-worked police
or would you kill
