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 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   Of 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 vain for what      Blowing kisses to the masses in this ticker tape parade   We're saints of this back seat, swear to God   We've 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, 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 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   Wanted to be like us   But did they ever like us anyway?
