lirik lagu amy ray - tear it down
[verse 1]
you say i miss the old ways, but not like that
dog whistling fool of a king
don’t you know that old dixieland
is more than dirt roads and simple ways?
[chorus]
tear it down, tear it down, that
ragged cross of race
[verse 2]
i don’t guess that we deserve all this
the beauty and the light
the way the firefly returns in june
as dusk sings her lullaby
all the lives that fertilized
and the manifested hand
the human bondage that provides
the bounty of this land
[chorus]
tear it down, ah, tear it down, that
ragged cross of race
the stone and the ore bеaten into monuments that
rose out of hatе
[verse 3]
i was that lonely kid in old cinemas
watching gone with the wind
tradition runs the core of me
the song of the south, “whistling dixie” again
oh, that tune lived and breathed in me
and it wants to live again
we must fight with all our might
to k!ll that racist hymn
[chorus]
and tear it down, ah, tear it down, that
ragged cross of race
the stone and the ore beaten into monuments that
rose out of hate
[outro]
the epitaph i long to read is
“here lies slavery”
