Statues Lyrics

They say the neighborhood has really gone to hell
I'll give that G' N' R EP a spin for you again
Ella sang: "Things ain't like they used to be"
Some will say this ain't punk rock 'cause we're in different keys

The thing is that first love, is hard to let go of,
like anything worth fighting for
And rosy retrospection is like an eye infection, it blurs

We put up statues for the past
The take the facts out of context
It's a mirage we're led astray
By myths of long gone better days

They say the city's dead, there's nowhere left to go
Remember how we used to never ever take it slow
You say I don't look at you like I once didAccelerators - Statues - http://motolyrics.com/accelerators/statues-lyrics.html
What about the nights we spent together in Madrid

The sense of unity in a community, joined to pray for men at war
Is now what most sticks out we leave the bad parts out and it clouds

We put up statues for the past
The take the facts out of context
It's a mirage we're led astray
By myths of long gone better days

Was everything better back when everything was worse, is indifference
To what we have to blame at all, what we lose means more than what we procure

We put up statues for the past
The take the facts out of context
It's a mirage we're led astray
By myths of long gone better days
