Daniel Lavoie - Leaders lyrics

They wanted so bad to be leaders so they could lead us all to well And we just let then lead on we even thought they did it well Ten thousand years of torture and war we let them blow the horn And we k**ed our friends and brothers on the fields and on the shores We plundered the seas and plundered the plain we even let the rain go sour No matter how much we let them have, still they wanted more They wanted their names in history we should remember them a thousand years You can be sure we'll write their names down but it will never repay the tears The shattered lives of millions with greed to lead the way We just let them carry on till they could blow us all to way They wanted so bad to be leaders so they could lead us all to hell And we just let them lead on we even thought they did it well
