Graffiti The World
You know, they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
So vengeful and mother earth has been done wrong
And I think she’s sick
Yo, she’s pukin up lava
Her nerves tremble along fault lines ready to drop an entire city of filth
that’s been forced upon her
We built these towers of Babel and feel remorse for nada
The momma divorce the father
The children are droppin blotter
The rich get richer, poverty’s hot under the collar
Takin prayer outta schools and we’re tryin to raise scholars
Creationism vs. the theory of evolution
Air, water, land, mind, body and soul pollution
Kids steppin on land mines from wars we’re all losin
We’re chasin false idols, erasing from our bibles the golden rule
the youth are becoming more suicidal
Who teaches them, you and I do
No wonder they want to fight you
Raised by hypocrites, you feel lied to.

Graffiti the land with skyscrapers
Graffiti the sky with airplanes and satellites
Graffiti the minds of children with your man-made laws
Graffiti the world, I saw the writing on the wall
We’ve got ABC, NBC, MTV, TNT, the BBC, DVD, VHS, DSL, A and E, XTC, mp3, FCC, THC, NRA, GOP??.. ADD
The fight for free speech, lack of responsibility
Thieves in positions of power
Internet pornography
Guns in the home for fear that the next knock at the door could be death
The terrorists are in the White House and oversees
Racists, separatists, vicious militias
The Buddhists, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Christians
Could it be our biggest barrier is language
Or is oil that important that one would inflict anguish
So cars can deplete the ozone on highways
That stretch across the land where Indians once raised families
We’re in denial, the world is afraid
And you say there’s no more slaves
[Hook:]
Graffiti the land with skyscrapers
Graffiti the sky with airplanes and satellites
Graffiti the minds of children with your man-made laws
Graffiti the world, I saw the writing on the wall
We’re addicted to planes, trains and automobiles
We’re addicted to addiction
We dig livin in fiction
For money, power, respect, the Army’s got to go kill
They’re under contract so let the blood spill
Sorta morbid ain’t it this picture that I just painted
It’s an epiphany I had
I realized just how tainted our thinking really is
While in New York when I saw a teenager being arrested for taggin a fuckin wall.

Last Tattoo
[Hook:]
This will be my last tattoo
To cover the memory of someone I thought I’d always need
Cover her name with a smoking gun
Make it hurt as much as possible and make it bleed
Just can’t take it no more feelin’ numb
Woke up face on the floor I was dumb
Cut me all the way to the core morning comes
Time to get busy forgetting again
Tired of going out my mind
Looking for something I won’t find
How could I have been so blind
This is a load of crap
It figures she would win
But I’ll learn to feel again
Bear down hard when you fill it in
Give me the pain I’ll grit my teeth in
[Hook:]
This will be my last tattoo
To cover the memory of someone I thought I’d always need
Cover her name with a smoking gun
Make it hurt as much as possible and make it bleed
You know when I woke up this morning she was long good gone
I thought she heard me say she was my vertebrae my back bone
But bone the dawn feels wrong, the night ain’t right
The phone ain’t on and she broke out last night
Left a note sayin’ she won’t hang on, she just can’t fight
I know she’s with Brock Scott, that jock with blonde locks
That blocks shots, guess I’m just not that hot
Mailbox for cocks
Let him bust your rear cuz you don’t trust my rap career
But need I point out our bank account with a large amount
You left in the bank you skank, what you think
I’m a take this loot and buy some ink
You can take that shit you talkin’ with you walkin’ hooker
[Hook:]
This will be my last tattoo
To cover the memory of someone I thought I’d always need
Cover her name with a smoking gun
Make it hurt as much as possible and make it bleed
Her face is still in my brain kill her name
I’m still dealing with pain what a shame
Heart still wearing a stain I’m to blame
Little bitty guilty’s crawling all over my soul
I can’t believe this shit
Said I caused the things she did
Bear down hard when you fill it in
Give me the pain I’ll grit my teeth in
[Hook:]
This will be my last tattoo
To cover the memory of someone I thought I’d always need
Cover her name with a smoking gun
Make it hurt as much as possible and make it bleed
Red Water
When I was twelve, while checking the mail
I was admiring the car of the man next door
And thinking to myself, man, one of these days
I’m gonna have me a house like that with a big, red door
And his yard was mowed, and his grass was green
And the driveway was edged and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
I had a crush on his wife and I played ball with his son
I pondered how much money he made, went inside and turned the TV on
[Hook:]
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, he had a smile on his face
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
One more thing to say
I was watching TV, having one of mom’s famous rice crispy treats
Watching Tom and Jerry, I heard a car horn beep
I ran to the window, his wife and son were home
With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
I leapt off the stairs, and asked his son could he play
And his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son I guess it’ll be okay
And that beautiful woman, she walked in that beautiful house
When I realized I forgot my hat, I said I’ll be back and turned around
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, he had a smile on his face
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
One more thing to say
There was screaming and there was crying
There was sirens, I thought I was dreamin
And the sun was shining, it was a beautiful day
His wife was talking to an officer
Through the noise I heard her say
[Hook:]
And he was laying in an overflowing bathtub of red water
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
And they said, he had a
smile on his face
His final offer, the steam on the mirror said
I got one more thing to say
