World Leader Pretend

R.E.M.

Green

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 recognize the weapons, I 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 defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated, I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate, I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons, I've practiced them well, I fitted them myself
 
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize
This is my mistake
Let me make it good
I raised the walls
And I will be the one to knock it down
 
Reach out for me and 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
This is my mistake
Let me make it good
I raised the walls
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 walls
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down
