Us Songtext
von Regina Spektor

They made a statue of us
And put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs, have 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 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
