I'm sick of
working for a living
I'm just ticking off
the days 'til I die
Oh, I miss you
in weeks, yeah
And the sickest little
places keep me going in
between pulling teeth
Well, periscope up
I've been looking
for a ladder
I need to see the
commander in chief
Ooh, and remind you
what was passed on
to me
Oh, well, your mom
don't sleep
Oh, and the friends
you keep
I didn't raise a thief
I didn't raise a thief
But the leaders of the
free world are just little
boys throwing stones
And it's easy to
ignore 'til they're
Knocking on the
door of your homes
Oh, yeah
My thinking isn't driven
Oh, but the music
always gives me a lift
I'm so easy to please,
yeah
But I think we dropped
the baton like the '60s
didn't happen, oh no
Well, periscope up
Should be looking
for a ladder
I need to see the
commander in chief
Ooh, and remind you
what was passed
on to you and me
Oh, your mom
don't sleep
Oh, and the friends
you keep
I didn't raise a thief
I didn't raise a thief
But the leaders of
the free world are just
little boys throwing
stones
And it's easy to
ignore 'til they're
Knocking on the
door of your homes
The leaders of the free
world are just little
boys throwing stones
And it's easy to
ignore 'til they're
Knocking on the
door of your homes
Passing the guns from
father to feckless son
We're caught in a
landslide where only
the good die young
Passing the guns from
father to feckless son
We're caught in a
landslide where only
the good die young
Oh, periscope up
I've been looking
for a ladder
I need to see the
Commander In Chief,
ooh
And remind him what
was passed on to
you and me, oh...
We're caught in a
landslide where only
the good die young
Oh, periscope up
The Commander
In Chief
And remind him
what was passed on
to you and me, oh
