[Intro]
   Bm     F#m     Em     F#mx4
[Verse 1]
They Bmstarted work this morning down at F#mcity square
They're Empulling down the statues of our F#mgreat grandfather's heroes
The Bmnew books said he wasn't such a F#mgreat man after all
And Emanyway remember that the F#mtimes they are a-changing
[Chorus]
Pull it Ddown, drag it Cdown, drag it Bmdown, pull it Adown
Till there's Dnothing to look Cup to
But the Bmbrand names on the Aposters all Bmaround
Bm/C   Bm/A
[Verse 2]
They Bmproved on television last night that F#mGod was just a lie
He Emnever made the world at all it was F#mjust some sweet old fashioned rite
So Bmmelt down all the ornaments, F#mmove out all the graves
And Emlet us build the disco that we F#mneed for our young braves
[Chorus]
Pull it Ddown, drag it Cdown, drag it Bmdown, pull it Adown
Till the Dhopes and dreams of Call the ages
BmPast are Ashattered on the ground
[Bridge]
   Bm     C     A    Bmx2
We Bmthink we are so Cclever killing Aheroes, killing Bmmagic,
Until Bmeverything that's Csacred is Abrought down to our Bmlevel
for BmMammon is a Cjealous master, - Aleaves no room for Bmany other
All the Bmquestions Cleft unanswered, Aall the answers Bmgone forever
So Bmbow to the woman in the Cfinest fur
ABow to the man with the Bmace street cool
BmBow to the woman with Call the power
ABow to the man with Bmall the money
In Bmwhose sight are we Cequal now? In Awhose sight are we Bmequal now?  x2
Fmaj7#11Now that we've killed BmGod   x3
[Turnaround]
   Bm     F#m      Em      F#mx2
[Chorus]
Pull it Ddown, drag it Cdown, drag it Bmdown, pull it Adown
Till there's Dnothing to look Cup to
But the Bmbrand names on the Aposters
Pull it Ddown, drag it Cdown, drag it Bmdown, pull it Adown
Till the Dhopes and dreams of Call the ages
BmPast are Ashattered on the Bmground
