Hit the Lights - Statues Lyrics

They'll build statues in our likeness,
They wanted to be like us, but did they ever like us anyway?

Gave them the cold shoulder,
Ours shoulders just got colder.
Did they deserve an elbow to the face?

I'll build this monument just to tear it down,
Tear it down, yeah
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,
For 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 vein for What they thought

Blowing kisses to the masses in this ticker tape parade
We're saints of this back seat swear to god they've got it made (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! were making history.
Tonight! we'll take you to the streets.
Tomorrow! we'll live in infamy
We're under attack
Pull the knife from back and hold it to their throats
(To the 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,
They wanted to be like us, but did they ever like us anyway?
