Statues

There's a statue of a man somewhere

No one knows quite why he's there

With graffiti in his sculpted hair

But I think that he's too dead to care

Who decides

Who's a statue?

Immortalize

One side of the truth

In the most beautiful faces

That hide what they're erasing

Who's a statue?

Who's a statue?

The artist builds her masterpiece

This man, she builds the way she sees him

But art bends just like history

Stained by subjectivity

Who decides

Who's a statue?

Immortalize

One side of the truth

In the most beautiful faces

That hide what they're erasing

Who's a statue?

Who's a statue?

Who's a statue?

Building up and tearing down

Ashes, ashes all around

Building up and tearing down

Ashes, ashes all around

Building up and tearing down

Ashes, ashes all around

Building up and tearing down

Ashes, ashes all around

Who decides

Who's a statue?

Immortalize

One side of the truth

In the most beautiful faces

That hide what they're erasing (Who decides)

Who's a statue? (Who decides)

Who's a statue? (Who decides)

Who's a statue? (Who decides)
