Artist: hit the lights
Song: statues
They'll build statues in our likeness
They wanted to be like us
But did they ever like us anyway?
We gave them the cold shoulder
Our shoulders just got colder
Did they deserve an elbow to the face?
I'll build this monument just to tear it down
And dedicate it to this bitter town
And this broken sound
And I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here
And I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here, wish you were here
I'll build a throne made from the bones
Of those who died searching for gold
Just to find it's found inside our hearts
What a tip you'll hear them say
Tossing turning in their graves
All this time searching in vain for what
Blowing kisses to the masses in this ticker tape parade
We're saints of this back seat, swear to God
We've got it made
And I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here
Yeah, I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here, I wish you were here
Today, we're making history
Tonight, we'll take you to the streets
Tomorrow, we'll live in infamy
We're under attack
Pull the knife from my back
And hold it to their throats
And I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here
Yeah, I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here
They'll build statues in our likeness
Wanted to be like us
But did they ever like us anyway?
