Leaders of the Free World

I'm sick of working for a living

I'm just tickin' off the days till I die

Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah

And the sickest little pleasures

Keep me goin' in between pullin' teeth

Oh, periscope up

I've been lookin' for a ladder

I need to see the Commander in Chief, ooh

And remind him what was passed on to me, oh

Well, 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 throwin' stones

And it's easy to ignore

Till they're knockin' on the door of your homes, oh yeah

My thinkin' 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 lookin' 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 throwin' stones

And it's easy to ignore

Till they're knockin' on the door of your homes

But the leaders of the free world

Are just little boys throwin' stones

And it's easy to ignore

Till they're knockin' on the door of your homes

Passing the gun from father to feckless son

We're climbin' a landslide where only the good die young

Passing the gun from father to feckless son

We're climbin' a landslide where only the good die young

(Passing the gun from father to feckless son)

Oh, periscope up

I've been lookin' for a ladder

I need to see the Commander in Chief, ooh

(We're climbin' a landslide where only the good die young)

And remind him what was passed on to you and me, oh

(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

Commander in Chief
