Say no more, it’s all been said before courtesy of Pink Floyd’s the Wall

I spotted this graffiti here in Bogota around the corner from my gym. It left me wondering whether it was some politically active commentator at work in this well-heeled district, or, simply a Pink Floyd fan armed with some spray paint.

Mother (Waters)

Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they’ll like this song?
Mother do you think they’ll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Mother am I really dying?
