lirik lagu the mommyheads – statues (paintings poems and books)
he built his empire with determined, calloused hands
he saw things in his mind no one seemed to understand
so he didn’t feel the need to apologize
when he picked the wrong side
and now we’ve changed our minds
they cast his likeness in a towering work of bronze
and even after he left this earth his eternal gaze lived on
but the memory still burns
when true beliеfs betray their words
like vinеs our hands reach up to the sky
but the moment we tear one down
we’ll have to tear them all to the ground
all books written by bigots, burn them
all paintings made by fascists, melt them
this precarious game of erasing the pain
where do we draw the line?
the moment we tear one down
tree limbs snap in half from the sudden swirling air
shards of glass disperse into the summer air
blackhawk swoop down from its perch
to clear a path of scorched earth
and help us change all our minds
when the system breaks apart there’s nowhere left to hide
when the system breaks apart the fight comes from inside
from chinatown to lafayette square
with every step you’re more aware
like vines your hands reach up to the sky
but the moment you tear one down
you’ll have to tear them all down to the ground
all poems written by supremacists, burn them
all sculptures carved by racists, melt them
this precarious game of erasing the pain
where do we draw the line?
the moment we tear one down
