we are the world and its rulers we are the kings to rule the weak as for other leaders we will crush their beaks we will use our might to make them feel meek we don't care what others think for their voices are all so small for they fear our might and power and lack the guts to stand against and if a few do use their feet we'll bring them down to their knees and if they try to resist we will shock their hearts and if they survive the game we will blast them down for we are their masters for we are their gods and they should accept their fate and be on the knees we will do what we must to continue to be kings when one flame dies another would begin if there are more leaders we'll crush their beaks too we will lay down the rules and if they follow our rules we will let them survive in our brave new world yes, they will all follow do they have a choice? ---------------------------- From "Goodbye, blue sky" by Pink Floyd (written by Roger Waters, Album: The Wall) .. .. Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter, When the promise of a brave new world, Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky? .. .. The flames are all long gone, But the pain lingers on. Goodbye, blue sky... |

I think the opposite would be humble and I doubt if we will find many humble leaders...the most we can hope for is fair...James |
