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)
