michael friedman - painting كلمات الأغنية

[abraham]
the president told the city to drop dead
and you’re painting
the block is blighted, the bankers said
and you’re painting
the neighborhood is changing hues
you paint the colors that you choose
brownstone, asphalt, black and white
you’re painting

no one safe from son of sam
and you’re painting
cunningham and cage at bam
and you’re painting
roe v. wade, the national debt
king tut mummies at the met
and sometimes you forget
just why you’re painting

and the world is in disorder
and the center will not hold
and it takes a superpower
to keep the block under control
and n-body will see you
and the thing that you’ve designed
but they’ll see the mark you left behind
[abraham]
peepshows in the old arcades

and you’re painting

spray paint rembrandts, g-y pride parades

and you’re painting [mingus]

write your tag
where they can see

someday museums are
gonna show me

[abraham and mingus]
blackout, looting city-wide
nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
and how do you decide
just what you’re painting

[abraham]
headless body in a topless bar
and you’re painting
rachel left you where you are
alone and painting
the president declared a war on drugs
your son is going to school with thugs
the house is worthless, the broker said
you’re stuck in brooklyn, your marriage is dead
and anyone with a clue has already fled
and you’re painting

[abraham and mingus]
and the world is in disorder
and the center will not hold
and you aren’t a superhero
and you’re feeling very old

[abraham]
and sometimes when you’re painting
you put on one of her records
and it’s like she never left
and the song is everywhere
the song is everywhere
and the block is technicolor
and you’re painting
