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
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 shore
We plundered the sea and we plundered the plain
And we even let the rain go sour
And 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
And we just let them carry on
'Til they could blow us all away
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
