REM - World Leader Pretend Lyrics
I sit at my table and wage war on myselfIt seems like its all...its all for nothingI know the barricades, andI know the mortar in the wall breaksI recognize the weapons, I used them wellThis is my mistake. let me make it goodI raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it downIve a rich understanding of my finest defensesI proclaim that claims are left unstated,I demand a rematchI decree a stalemateI divine my deeper motivesI recognize the weaponsIve practiced them well. I fitted them myselfIts amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathizeThis is my mistake. let me make it goodI raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it downReach out for me and hold me tight. hold that memoryLet my machine talk to me. let my machine talk to meThis is my worldAnd I am the world leader pretendThis is my lifeAnd this is my timeI have been given the freedomTo do as I see fitIts high time Ive razed the wallsThat Ive constructedIts amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathizeThis is my mistake. let me make it goodI raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it downYou fill in the mortar. you fill in the harmonyYou fill in the mortar. I raised the wallsAnd Im the only oneI will be the one to knock it down
