Leaders Of The Free World - Elbow
I'm sick of working for a living I'm just ticking off the days 'til I die I miss you Louise And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth Periscope up I've been looking for a ladder I need to see the commander in chief And remind him what was passed on to me Your mum don't sleep! The friends you keep! I didn't raise a thief! But the leaders of the free world Are just little boys throwing stones And it's easy to ignore 'til they're knocking on the door of your homes My thinking isn't driven But the music always gives me a lift I'm so easy to please But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen. Oh no. Periscope up I've been looking for a ladder I need to see the commander in chief And remind him what was passed on to me Your mum don't sleep! The friends you keep! I didn't raise a thief! Passing the gun from father to feckless son We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
