They started work this morning down at city square
They're pulling down the statues of our great grandfather's hero
The new books said he wasn't such a great man after all
And anyway remember that the times they are a-changingPull it down, drag it down
Till there's nothing to look up to
But the brand names on the posters all aroundThey proved on television last night that God was just a lie
He never made the world at all
It was just some sweet old fashioned right
So melt down all the ornaments, move out all the graves
And let us build the disco that we need for our young bravesPull it down, drag it down
Till the hopes and dreams of all the ages
Past are shattered on the ground
