Monuments

Old monuments that pave our city

Every brick, all of it

Is a part of the wall of shame

Exposing it, showing what we did

Slavery, dictatorship, our dark history

Some people still look proudly up to it

It’s their dead-end path, their one-way track

Their misconception of history

Wrong century, for your bigotry

We want better things to last

Why are you living in the past?

Let’s raise new monuments

I’m not ashamed of, that I look up to

Monuments of equality and freedom

That stay forever in our minds

Let’s raise new monuments

I’m not ashamed of, that I look up to

Monuments of equality and freedom

That stay forever in our minds

What about we paint them

We paint them all black

What about we destroy them

Brick by brick, all of it

What about we smash them

From stone to dust?

What about we set fire

And end up with it?

What about we paint them

We paint them all black

What about we destroy them

Brick by brick, all of it

What about we smash them

From stone to dust?

What about we set fire

And end up with it?
