Vandal

Matt Parker

Scarf tied to hide the face
Lurking in the shadows
Entertained by every chase
Covertly underexposed
Tag it
And admire it
Then on to the next wall

Fluorescent basement sign
Hiding in the rat run
Phosphorescent alibi
Stylistic but overdone
Tag it
And admire it
Then on to the next wall

(Chorus)
You’re just a vandal
Just a vandal
A petty vandal
Sprayed your parting shot
Within a cause you can’t control

A stencil autograph
As seen on CCTV
A spray can epitaph
Monosyllabic eulogy
Tag it
And admire it
Then on to the next wall
