Elbow - Leaders of the free world lyrics

Your rating:

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
And remind him what was passed onto me 

Your mum don't sleep
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 walking on the door of your home 

My 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 no 

Oh 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 me 

Your mum don't sleep
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
(2x) 

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 passing the gun from father to freckless son (2x)
