Leaders Of The Free World Lyrics - 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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)
