I have a strong preference for statues commemorating love.

DESCENDENTS - "Statue Of Liberty"

Well the people walk all around
The thing on an island very far from here
They pay it homage like a god
And they paint it on each and every year
A sign for all it was given to us
And we all appreciate this bomb
The tourists don't know and never will
It has no use it's meaning is gone
The Statue of Liberty
And for united we stand
We all agree it's a mystery
But why'd they give it to us?
We still don't know just why it came
A present from god or by the rain
The crowds swarm wildly to see it's peak
When I watch I go insane
Why is it so important to them
What is the beauty they see in it
I don't know why I just accept it
I don't want it cause it makes me sick
