Drag It Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They started work this morning
Down at city square
They're pulling down the statues
Of our great grandfather's hero
The new books say he wasn't such
A great man after all
And anyway remember that the times
They are a-changing
Pull it down, drag it down
Drag it down, pull it down
Till there's nothing to look up to
But the brand names on the posters
All around
They proved on television last night
God was just a lie
He never made the world at all
It was just some sweet old-fashioned rate
So melt down all the ornaments
Move out all the graves
And let us build the disco that we need
For our young braves
Pull it down, drag it down
Drag it down, pull it down
Till the hopes and dreams of all
The ages past are shattered on the ground
We think we are so clever
Killing heroes, killing magic
Till everything that's sacred
Is brought down to our level
For mammon is a jealous master
Leaves no room for any other
All the questions left unanswered
All the answers gone forever
So bow to the woman in the finest fur
Bow to the man with the ace street cool
Bow to the woman with all the power
Bow to the man with all the money
In whose sight are we equal now?
In whose sight are we equal now?
In whose sight are we equal now?
In whose sight are we equal now?
Now that we've killed God
Now that we've killed God
Oh, now that we've killed God
Pull it down, drag it down
Drag it down, pull it down
Till there's nothing to look up to
But the brand names on the posters
Pull it down, drag it down
Drag it down, pull it down
Till the hopes and dreams of all
The ages past are shattered on the ground
