	A ballad from the satiric musical STAR WARES: THE NEXT GENERATION by Linda Eisenstein & James A. Levin. The Graffiti Bandit, once a notorious art activist, has been co-opted by the clever FICS -- the Folks In Charge. His protest art now hanging on the walls of the mega-rich, the ozone layer punctured by overuse of Graffiti Bandit-brand spray paints, the Bandit despairs on Earth. Meanwhile on Mars, his former comrade Donna has decided to join the FICS' galaxy-polluting corporation instead of fighting them.

	Story Behind the Song STAR WARES: THE NEXT GENERATION was produced in 1989-1990 at Cleveland Public Theatre, Cleveland, OH. Director, Alan Trethewey. Singers: John Meadows (Graffiti Bandit). Mary Alice Beck (Donna). Lyrics Nothing I did had any point at all. What was the use? A splash of words on a wall just titillate the disillusioned. No art, no contact, no real fusion -- Graffiti only alienates and now gets sold at market rates. Art cannot prevail preaching to itself 'til it's for sale. Is there anything anyone can do to change the world? It's much easier to float with the tide, don't make waves, just go along for the ride. Is there anything anyone can choose to make things right? Though we try to do the things we should, all the effort's really not much good. You can stop one chimney, recycle one can, it's as useless as the interest on a dime. It's like shoveling in a blizzard that never ends or moving the Sahara one spoon at a time. Is there anything anyone can do to change the world? Anything at all? I guess we're just too small.
