"Graffiti Planet" lyrics

"Graffiti Planet"

[Tom Ryan:]
This is Mayor Tom Ryan, introducing you to the official 1984 sesquicentennial song
Rochester has a unique and varied cultural history
So what better way to celebrate it than by listening to the music written, published, and performed by Rochesterians
We hope this musical journey stimulates further interest in the rich heritage of our city, enhances a civic pride among its people, and fosters a spirit of working together to make Rochester a truly great city
Let our spirits show

After all the boundaries were drawn
They disrespected a life
Is your daddy mad? Is his daddy mad?
Someone's spraying over their lines
Bring me my paint and brush
Bring me my paint and brush
If your daddy cares, or his daddy cares
Knock their bifocals straight from their eyes

All the colors had dried
When they showed up late in the night
Is your daddy mad? Is his daddy mad?
Well they're running out of daylight
Put on the final touch (Cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up)
Put on the final touch (Cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up)
If your daddy cares, or his daddy cares
Tell them it's not their world, no, it's mine
Now it's mine

Put on the final touch (Cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up)
Put on the final touch (Cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up)
Put on the final touch (Cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up, cover up)
Yeah
Somebody's watching me from behind
