world leader pretend (live) - r.e.m. lyrics

[verse 1]
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 recognise the weapons, i’ve 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 defences
i proclaim that claims are left unstated
i demand a rematch

[bridge]
i decree a stalemate
i divine my deeper motives
i recognise the weapons
i’ve practised them well
i fitted them myself

[chorus]
it’s amazing what devices you can sympathize
empathise
this is my mistake, let me make it good
i raised the wall
and i will be the one to knock it down

[bridge]
reach out for me
hold me tight
hold that memory
let my machine talk to me
let my machine talk to me

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
it’s amazing what devices you can sympathize
empathise
this is my mistake, let me make it good
i raised the wall
and i will be the one to knock it down

[outro]
you fill in the mortar
you fill in the harmony
you fill in the mortar
i raised the wall
and i’m the only one
i will be the one to knock it down
