Lyrics
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
(Here we go)
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"
Wish you were here
I'll build a throne Make 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 Make
(Got it Make)
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) tonight we'll take it 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
(To their throats, 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
They wanted to be like us
But did they ever like us anyway?
