Jim Page - Pulling The Statues Down
You don’t know me by nameI don’t know you too
But we’re on the same road, my friend
And we have some things to do
In summer of no return
Fires lit for the fuse to burn
They killed somebody in broad daylight
Gonna take a lot of changes to make it right
(Chorus)
Pullin’ the statues down, bells a-ringin’
Statues down, and everybody singin’
“Hey – will look at that
Ain’t that a beautiful sight to see?”
Some old songs we used to sing
Don’t sing them anymore
Some flags we used to fly
Don’t fly them anymore
Architects of a bad design
Some worn out state of mind
Best just to let it go
You can’t hold on when the winds begin to blow so hard
(Chorus)
Look – there goes Andrew Jackson
Look – there goes Christopher Columbus
Look – there goes Junipero Serra
We’ve been at war before
We know that does
Sometimes what you stand up for
Ain’t what you thought it was
There’s a new day knockin’ on the old one’s door
We can’t ignore it anymore
Come on out and take a look to see
The way that it’s about to be
It ain’t if you lose or win
But whose shoes you’re standing in
And I know you understand
So come on out and give me a hand
(Chorus)
Look – here comes Harriet Tubman
Look – here comes Frederick Douglass
Look – here comes Geronimo
(Chorus)
