From the recording Songs for Troubled Times
Lyrics
Leaders
Some of our leaders are leading us to doom
as they take us in to a padded room
and they run head on in to the wall
just to bounce off, just to fall
if they bounce off
they’ll try it again and again
if they fall
we will be the ones to face the end.... the end
Leaders-------What are you trying to do to us
Leaders--------You’re making a fool of us.
It seems that you’re the ones
Who just can’t see eye to eye
It seems that you’re the ones
Who can’t sit still and smile
Were you like anyone him or me?
Was your childhood a happy one?
If it was I can’t understand
Why you keep all those knives and guns
In your closet
Some of our leaders
Some of our leaders
They’ve got me cared
With their blood shooting eyes
And their snow white hair
Breathing out fire
Without a care
Like I said
They’ve got me scared
Leaders-------What are you trying to do to us
Leaders--------You’re making a fool of us.
It seems that you’re the ones
Who just can’t see eye to eye
It seems that you’re the ones
Who can’t sit still and smile
