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
