Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 soundAnd I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were hereAnd I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here, wish you were hereI'll build a throne made from the bones
Of those who died searching for gold
Just to find it's found inside our heartsWhat a tip you'll hear them say
Tossing turning in their graves
All this time searching in vain for whatBlowing kisses to the masses in this ticker tape parade
We're saints of this back seat, swear to God
We've got it madeAnd I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were hereYeah, I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were here, I wish you were hereToday, 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 throatsAnd I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were hereYeah, I'll send postcards to enemies
Make sure to sign and date each one
While singing wish you were hereThey'll build statues in our likeness
Wanted to be like us
But did they ever like us anyway?
