World Leader Pretend
Quelle: Spotify
[Verse 1]
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 recognise 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 defences
I proclaim that claims are left unstated
I demand a rematch
[Bridge]
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognise the weapons
I've practised them well
I fitted them myself
[Chorus]
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
Empathise
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raised the wall
And I will be the one to knock it down
[Bridge]
Reach out for me
Hold me tight
Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me
Let my machine talk to me
[Verse 2]
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 razed the walls that I've constructed
[Chorus]
[Outro]
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
