I'm sick of working for a living
|
I'm 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
|
I've been looking for a ladder
|
I need to see the commander in chief
|
And remind him what was passed onto me
|
|
Your mum don't sleep!
|
And the friends you keep!
|
I didn't raise a thief!
|
I didn't raise a thief!
|
|
But the leaders of the free world
|
Are just little boys throwing stones
|
And it's easy to ignore
|
Till they're walking on the door of your home
|
|
My thinking isn't driven
|
But the music always gives me a lift
|
I'm so easy to please, yeah
|
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't 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 don't sleep!
|
And the friends you keep!
|
I didn't raise a thief!
|
I didn't raise a thief!
|
|
But the leaders of the free world
|
Are just little boys throwing stones
|
And it's easy to ignore
|
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
|
|
But the leaders of the free world
|
Are just little boys throwing stones
|
And it's easy to ignore
|
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
|
|
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
|
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
|
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
|
we're passing the gun from father to freckless son X2
