Текст (слова) песни: Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World

Im sick of working for a living
Im 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
Ive been looking for a ladder
I need to see the commander in chief
And remind him what was passed onto me

Your mum dont sleep!
And the friends you keep!
I didnt raise a thief!
I didnt raise a thief!

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And its easy to ignore
Till theyre walking on the door of your home

My thinking isnt driven
But the music always gives me a lift
Im so easy to please, yeah
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60s didnt 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 dont sleep!
And the friends you keep!
I didnt raise a thief!
I didnt raise a thief!

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And its easy to ignore
Till theyre knocking on the door of your homes

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And its easy to ignore
Till theyre knocking on the door of your homes

Passing the gun from father to feckless son
Were climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
