Lyrics
A middle class mom crouches on the hill
Eyes behind binoculars she sits so still
Spots a boy going under the freeway
Whispers in her radio "go in for the kill"
Open your eyes, you're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark, open your eyes
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free, it's only for
Those who can afford to raise their voice
Say it's pollution, they say it's a sin
Mobilize their force to stop the demon within
They say it's not a battle it's a full scale war
Recruiting volunteers like never before
Open your eyes, you're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark, open your eyes
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free, it's only for
Those who can afford to raise their voice
Say it's so ugly they say it's an eyesore
But remember they're the ones who build department stores
Put ads on the benches, signs on the windows
Asphalt where the grass used to grow
Open your eyes, you're fighting kids
Who only want to make their mark
Everything else you took away
You left them in the dark, open your eyes
Your war is not about beauty
It's about rights and choice
Speech isn't free, it's only for
Those who can afford to raise their voice

| I think this song is about grafitt, and how it's portrayed by society.To most people it's seen as dirty and ugly and vandalism, but to some people it's a form of art and self-expression. This song is basically saying that kids are silenced enough as it is anyway, so they deserve more ways of being able to express themselves. Also it's saying about how the adults against grafitti are hypocrites due to the fact they're causing pollution and urbanising everywhere, which is a lot worse than a few marks on a wall. | |
