World Leader Pretend |
| I sit at my table and wage war on myself |
| It seems like it’s all, it’s all for nothing |
| I know the barricades and I know the mortar in the wall breaks |
| I recognize the weapons, I’ve used them well |
| This is my mistake, let me make it good |
| I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down |
| I’ve a rich understanding of my finest defenses |
| I proclaim that claims are left unstated, I demand a rematch |
| I decree a stalemate, I divine my deeper motives |
| I recognize the weapons, I’ve practiced them well |
| I fitted them myself |
| It’s amazing what devices you can sympathize (Empathize) |
| This is my mistake, let me make it good |
| I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down |
| Reach out for me and hold me tight |
| Hold that memory, let my machine talk to me |
| Let my machine talk to me |
| This is my world and I am the World Leader Pretend |
| This is my life and this is my time |
| I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit |
| It’s high time I raised the walls that I’ve constructed |
| It’s amazing what devices you can sympathize (Empathize) |
| This is my mistake, let me make it good |
| I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down |
| You fill in the mortar, you fill in the harmony |
| You fill in the mortar, I raised the wall |
| And I’m the only one, I will be the one to knock it down |
