Lyrics

I'm sick of working for a living I'm just ticking off the days till I die Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth Oh, periscope up I've been looking for a ladder I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh And remind him what was passed on to me, oh Your mum don't sleep, oh And the friends you keep I didn't raise a thief 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 Till they're knocking on the door of your homes, yeah My thinking isn't driven, oh 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 no Oh, periscope up Should be looking for a ladder I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh And remind him what was passed on to you and me, oh Your mum don't sleep, oh And the friends you keep I didn't raise a thief 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 Till they're knocking on the door of your homes But 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 homes 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 young (Passing the gun from father to feckless son) Oh, periscope up I've been looking for a ladder (We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young) I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh And remind him what was passed on to me, oh (Passing the gun from father to feckless son) Oh, periscope up I've been looking for a ladder (We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young)
