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 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
