Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They made a statue of us And put it on a mountaintop Now tourists come and stare at us Blow bubbles with their gum Take photographs of fun, have 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 'Cause they've got years of experience [Chorus] Living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages Living in a den of thieves And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages Living in a den of thieves And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious And it's contagious [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Living in a den of thieves Rummaging for answers in the pages 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, oh And it's contagious, oh And it's contagious, oh And it's contagious, oh
