Tear 'em Down

from Monuments & Ruins by Lewis Mullen

/

about

This was the spark that caught on the match that lit this EP, via a long touch paper that's stretched across several years of isolation and increasing disillusionment for many. Not much more to say on this one, as I don’t want to sound preachy. I’ll take peachy

lyrics

Raise the flag and fire the cannon
Process down the closed off streets
Sing songs of a super strong nation
Sounds more like a crying shame


Colonisers on pedestals
On streets named after slavers
Don’t tell me this is a museum
Looks more like a hall of fame


Down down down
Tear em down
Tear em all down
Heave ho and throw em in the sea

Down down down
Tear em down
Tear em all down
Heave ho and throw em in the sea

Down down down
Tear em down
Tear em all down
Heave ho and throw em in the sea

Held doors in endless corridors
Followed up with a wandering hand
For the sake of your livelihood
Better not be kissed and tell

Non silence breaks the violence
Childhood heroes fall like cards
Favourite author’s got a hit out on me
And all of my friends as well so

Down down down
Tear em down
Tear em all down
Heave ho and throw em in the sea

Singing
Down down down
Tear em down
Tear em all down
Heave ho and throw em in the sea

Lewis Mullen Glasgow, UK

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
