Statues

They'll build statues in our likeness They wanted to be like us But did they ever like us anyway? (We always) gave em the cold shoulder Our shoulders just got colder They deserve an elbow to the face I'll build this monument just to tear it down (Tear it down now) And dedicate it to this bitter town and this broken sound And I'll send postcards to enemies Made sure to sign and date each one while singing "Wish you were here" And I'll send postcards to enemies Made 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 jip" 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 backseat Swear to God we've got it made (Got it made) And I'll send postcards to enemies Made sure to sign and date each one while singing "Wish you were here" And I'll send postcards to enemies Made 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 it to the streets Tomorrow, we'll live in infamy We're under attack Pull the knife from our backs and hold it to their throats And I'll send postcards to enemies Made sure to sign and date each one while singing "Wish you were here" And I'll send postcards to enemies Made sure to sign and date each one while singing "Wish you were here" They'll build statues in our likeness They wanted to be like us But did they ever like us anyway?
