Hit The Lights "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?
