Something For Everyone...
Na minha rua há restos de vidas
Restos de famílias, de mães desaparecidas,
e outras a que deram vidas às vidas que por ali param,
vindas de passagem e de passagem lá ficaram.
Na minha rua há restos de cartazes,
restos de eleições de Sim! ao aborto e outras frases
que eu não votei mas fiz pressão para que outro alguém votasse
minha consciência passa a vida num impasse.
Na minha rua há restos de mim por todo o lado,
espalhados pelo tempo e pelo espaço.
Na minha rua há pedaços de mim por toda a parte,
rasgados e atirados pelo ar!
Na minha rua há restos de namoros
de beijos e de abraços de zangas e desaforos
e eu não tive ninguém que se designá-se a odiar-me,
do meu mau feitio de preguiça, humor e charme.
Na minha rua há restos de noites
restos de garrafas bebedeiras e açoites,
gemidos disfarçados pela euforia dos turistas
a porta de boates estão baratas como ariscas
He was a man, just like you and me,
Yet he suffered immense pain, and deadly injuries,
To insure no others would have to see,
The horror he saw before he ceased to breathe.

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape
No matter what happens now
I wont be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.
“In the Summer of 2004, I did a series of photographs for Under the Radar Magazine where musicians were given a board and paint, and asked to create their very own protest sign -- exercising their freedom of speech in an election year.”
