Hitchhiker's Blues #3 (Pearly Blues #4)
for Guy D and FAIR
1993

fresh morning papers crackle with news based on a true story
i find the truth in the street, spray-painted at my feet
rebel talk left on the sidewalk, stickers on ads
non-vanity graffiti
it really helped to keep me going

they've gotten you to dig your own grave
don't mean you gotta lay in it
with that long weary wait for nothing
i'm somewhat of an escape artist myself
though, "sometimes god burns your bridges for you"
gravity sure is a drag, but it gives me direction
really gets me thinking

scary dream police-light in my face
turns into the rising sun before he could pull his gun
i reserve the right to be different,
i reserve the right to not ingest,
no vice is gonna take me where ruby slippers can't
and stupid white culture makes me feel suicidal and isolated
from nothing
really gets me spinning

fresh morning papers crackle with news based on a true story
it's a compliment to the people
that they feel they have to lie so hard
i find the truth in the street spray-painted at my feet
encouraging the converted and tugging on sleepy sleeves
if can really get you thinking
it can really get you spinning
it can really help to keep you going
