Leader Lyrics
For every toy soldier I put to war when I was just a boy
I had no idea where I was going, I was built for more
I saw a man on TV, he had lost:
Some limbs, his younger brother, and his heart
Cause we need a leader
Someone to be a hero
I'm tired of fakers, actors, and bankers
They're everywhere I go
They're drawing our lifelines, making decisions
But never have to know
And everyone's got reasons why they're wrong
In the end we'll end up fine and for their cause
Cause we need a leader
Someone to be a hero
And we fight the fire
With a bigger, brighter lighter
All that we need is everyone we know
Everyone we know
How did we get so far?
And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
And how're we getting back home?
How did we get so far?
And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
And how're we getting back home?
How did we get so far?
And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
And how do we get back home?
Back home, back home...
Cause we need a leader
Someone to be a hero
And we fight the fire
With a bigger, brighter lighter
All that we need is everyone we know
Is everyone we know
Cause we need a leader
Someone to be a hero...
I had no idea where I was going, I was built for more
I saw a man on TV, he had lost:
Some limbs, his younger brother, and his heart
Someone to be a hero
They're everywhere I go
They're drawing our lifelines, making decisions
But never have to know
And everyone's got reasons why they're wrong
In the end we'll end up fine and for their cause
Someone to be a hero
With a bigger, brighter lighter
All that we need is everyone we know
Everyone we know
And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
And how're we getting back home?
How did we get so far?
And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
And how're we getting back home?
How did we get so far?
And how did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
And how do we get back home?
Back home, back home...
Someone to be a hero
With a bigger, brighter lighter
All that we need is everyone we know
Is everyone we know
Someone to be a hero...

This song is beautiful. I think "In the end we'll end up fine and for their cause" is "In the end we'll end up fighting for their cause" though. Good work on the lyrics though!
It's about Obama, who about eight hours ago was announced as the President of the United States of America.
It sounds like it's about getting our troops out of war.
"All that we need is everyone we know Everyone we know" maybe a reference to the large number of soldiers being used, or maybe even the draft they were talking about reinstating.
"I saw a man on TV, he had lost: Some limbs, his younger brother, and his heart" it was a solider, obviously.
"They're drawing our lifelines, making decisions But never have to know" the people who decide to go to war aren't having to live it.
"How did we get so far? And how do we get back home?" how did we get so overly involving in iraq, and how can we get out without it backfiring?
Ace Enders is wonderful, and I love his voice.<3
this song is about my brother.
