Like the 60's didn't happen, oh no
But the music always gives me a lift
And it's easy to ignore
But the leaders of the free world
Oh, periscope up, I've been looking for a ladder
And remind him what was passed onto you and me
But the leaders of the free world
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
Are just little boys throwing stones
Oh, I miss you, Louise, yeah
I didn't raise a thief, I didn't raise a thief
But I think we dropped the baton
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Till they're walking on the door of your homes
And it's easy to ignore
Oh, periscope up should be looking for a ladder
Keep me going in between pulling teeth
But the leaders of the free world
Your mum don't sleep and the friends you keep
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Are just little boys throwing stones
Are just little boys throwing stones
I need to see the commander in chief
I'm so easy to please, yeah
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
P-p-passing the gun from father to feckless son
I didn't raise a thief, I didn't raise a thief
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
My thinking isn't driven
Your mum don't sleep and the friends you keep
And remind him what was passed onto me
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
I need to see the commander in chief
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
And it's easy to ignore
Climbing a landslide where only the good die young
And the sickest little pleasures
Climbing a landslide where only the good die young
