WHERE HAVE ALL THE LEADERS GONE?

Where have all the leaders gone?
To the banks to cash their pay
Where have all the leaders gone?
To the greedy American way.

Where have all the leaders gone?
To be a front for businessmen
Where have all the leaders gone?
To buy elections time and again.

Where have all the leaders gone?
To their ivory towers way up high
Where have all the leaders gone?
To where they can't see you and I.

Where have all the leaders gone?
To the corporations for the perks
Where have all the leaders gone?
Not to public office filled with jerks.

Where have all the leaders gone?
None to be found when they are needed
Where have all the leaders gone?
To where warnings go unheeded.

Where have all the leaders gone?
To rape and pillage Mother Earth
Where have all the leaders gone?
Most of them to pimp their worth.

Where have all the leaders gone?
To wage war on the middle class
Where have all the leaders gone?
And other wars to show their ass.

Where have all the leaders gone?
We sure need some to return
Where have all the leaders gone?
To light the fires, like Rome, we'll burn.

Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity.
