They made a statue of us
And [they] put it on a mountaintop
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs for fun, for fun They’ll name a city after us
And later say it’s all our fault
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Because they’ve got years of experience We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We’re living in a den of thieves
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not ’cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We’re living in a den of thieves
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor’s mama sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We’re living in a den of thieves And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious

| Songlog | Music is the universal outlet of all of my pent up frustration over the blunders of the human race. These artists and songs are my refuge. I look at this song as Regina’s own frustration with history repeating. Artistic sarcasm is so refreshing, is it not? I wish I knew people that spoke this way on a daily basis. Do you speak this way? Email me. I want to know you. |
