THE LEADERS

Words & Music by: Piet Louter

There could be happiness for everyone in the world,
If they were granted to be free
Of all the wrongs, that makes living hurt.
But the leaders just don’t wanna see.

They promised shine and paradise on earth,
And made a show of doing well.
But now we know, what their sales talks are worth,
Cause the leaders made nothing but hell.

How unfair is it organized
Holding people down in the dark,
That keeps them away from the Western pies,
While the leaders make nothing but war.

What could they do to make a better state
Using their power really well
And free the poor of all that heavy weight.
But the leaders just think of themselves.

How unfair is it organized
Holding people down in the dark,
That keeps them away from the Western pies,
While the leaders make nothing but war.
