Down From Your Plinth!

from Cop This - THE ALBUM! by Cosmo

lyrics

CHORUS:
Hey-ho! Hey-ho!
Down from your plinth and away you go!
Hey-ho! Hey-ho!
Down the sea and away you go!

This here’s a public space
We don’t want to see his face
Edward Colston slaver twat
Bristol’s gonna see to that

CHORUS REPEAT

For twenty years the people pleaded
The statue wasn’t what was needed
But his charity left Colston standing
Enslaving Africans notwithstanding

CHORUS REPEAT

2020, 7th of June
A gathering most opportune
The statue got toppled and they chucked that wanker
Into the harbour where his slave ships anchored

CHORUS REPEAT

The judge harrumphed now order in court
The accusations all fell short
Defending slavers, can you manage?
How can that be criminal damage???

CHORUS REPEAT

The attorney general had a fit
The law confused her just a bit
The right cried into the internet
It was a time I won’t forget

CHORUS REPEAT
