Leaders of the Free World - elbow

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)
