American Graffiti

from Chat Room Days by Champion Leader

/

lyrics

Once I lived
in the Heart of the World
but some people think
that that was a joke

I saw those fantastic lights too bright at night
they block out the real stars, and leave us with fakes

"Are we really free?"
read the graffiti, the city calls
and we laughed when we read it all

Abandoned bags on a park bench...
Walked until our hearts ached...
(heard a) guy singing sermons on Madison and 85th

"Are we really free?"
read the graffiti
on a subway car
and we cried when we read it all


Almost living, almost dead!
Never made it to the Met
but that’s alright: I look at the paintings in color illustrations in books instead!

Are we really free?
Words in graffiti that millions saw
And we were silent, and it said it ALL
