| Album | Short Sharp Shocked |
| Lyrics:Michelle Shocked Music:Michelle Shocked | |
| Lay down your burdens | |
| Lay down your cares | |
| The Holy Virgin, she's gonna greet you up there | |
| With a big can of spray paint, yeah | |
| And a big blank wall | |
| And I can guaran-damn-tee you | |
| There ain't no cops around at all | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| Where do you go? | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| When there ain't no justice | |
| I only speak for myself | |
| But the word around town | |
| Is that something's shaking, yeah | |
| In the underground | |
| I only speak for myself | |
| But the word on the street | |
| Is that the writing's on the wall, yeah | |
| And the cop's on the beat | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| Where do you go? | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| When there ain't no justice | |
| (Now, I wrote this song for Michael Stewart. Michael Stewart | |
| was a young black graffiti artist who was arrested while | |
| writing graffiti on a subway wall in New York City. | |
| While under arrest, in the presence of eleven white transit | |
| cops, Michael Stewart was strangled to death. | |
| When his case was heard by the Grand Jury, you know, not one | |
| cop was found guilty. The coroner had lost the evidence and | |
| those cops are on the streets again.) | |
| Ah, you can have your little style wars, boys | |
| Yes, and you can keep your little dance | |
| But those crazy writers they don't stand a ghost of a chance | |
| No, it's 'Colar them cons' | |
| That's what Mayor Koch said | |
| He said, 'Call it a crime' | |
| And now it's steer clear of the engineer on that Midnight Special Line | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| Where do you go? | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| When there ain't no justice | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| Where do you go? | |
| Graffiti Limbo | |
| When there ain't no justice | |
| Ohhhh... |
