Regina Spektor
Us lyrics

Songwriters: Spektor, Regina

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
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

this song is about society.
"us" refers to the current generation. we feel hopeless to solve the world's problems (rummaging for answers in the pages) because motivations for the betterment of the human species as a whole are repressed by an overwhelming greed for power and profit (we're living in a den of thieves).
"they" are the future generations, far more enlightened than we, who look back on this time as we look back on the dark ages, recognizing that we had it all wrong, and building a statue to recognize our time as a very trying one in human history.
we often succumb to the conveniences of the established greedy, capitalist structure because those in power make it very difficult to change (and it's contagious).
this song is cynical and despairing in it's sentiments of the world we know.. yet assuredly hopeful for the world of the future.
