Leaders Of The Free World Lyrics


I'm sick of working for a living
I'm just ticking off the days 'til I die
Oh, I miss you, Louise, yeah
And the sickest little pleasures
Keep me going in between pulling teethOh, periscope up, I've been looking for a ladder
I need to see the commander in chief
And remind him what was passed onto meYour mum don't sleep and the friends you keep
I didn't raise a thief, I didn't raise a thiefBut the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're walking on the door of your homesMy thinking isn't driven
But the music always gives me a lift
I'm so easy to please, yeah
But I think we dropped the baton
Like the 60's didn't happen, oh noOh, periscope up should be looking for a ladder
I need to see the commander in chief
And remind him what was passed onto you and meYour mum don't sleep and the friends you keep
I didn't raise a thief, I didn't raise a thiefBut the leaders of the free world

Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homesBut the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it's easy to ignore
Till they're knocking on the door of your homesP-p-passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die youngPassing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
Climbing a landslide where only the good die youngPassing the gun from father to feckless son
Climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Passing the gun from father to feckless son

Over the band's 20 year career, it has released five studio albums, four EPs and ten top fifty singles in the UK. The band is named after a line in the BBC TV mini-series The Singing Detective which says that the word "elbow" is the most sensuous word in the English language...
