World Leader Pretend - R.E.M.
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
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognise the weapons
I've practised them well
I fitted them myself
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
Reach out for me
Hold me tight
Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me
Let my machine talk to me
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
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
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
