Lyrics

Our Value of Luxury

[Verse 1]

These men came down from heaven

I'm here to tell you something

You've stomped on rotting floorboards

Your world's an inaccurate graphic

[Chorus]

Our value of luxury

Allows us to believe we are free

Our value of luxury

Allows us to believe we are free

[Verse 2]

That's okay, we've got airplanes

Silos in mirrored highways

You're earmarked for collision

We're frozen opposition

[Chorus]

Our value of luxury

Allows us to believe we are free

Our value of luxury

Allows us to believe we are free

Our value of luxury

Allows us to believe we are free

Our value of luxury

Allows us to believe...
