|
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? |
