Testo World Leader Pretend - R.E.M.
Testo della canzone World Leader Pretend (R.E.M.), tratta dall'album The Best of Mountain Stage Live, Vol. 6
I sit at my table, 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
Yes, I recognize the weapons, I use them well
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raise the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim the claims you left unstated
I demand a rematch, I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives, I recognize the weapons
I practice them well, I'm better than myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raise 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 constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
This is my mistake, let me make it good
I raise 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 raise the wall
And I'm the only one, I will be the one to knock it down
Knock it down
