Black Country, New Road - Us lyrics

They made a statue of us
And put it on a mountaintop
The 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

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 wеar our scarves just like a noose
But not 'causе we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labour 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
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious and it's contagious
And it's contagious, oh it's contagious
And it's contagious, oh
And it's contagious, oh
And it's contagious, oh
And it's contagious, oh
