Lyrics Leaders - Daniel Lavoie

Leaders

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 killed 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
