they made a statue of us
and it put it on a mountain top
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 marble 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
were living in a den of thieves
and it's contagious.
