Forget the gas camps
Forget the Berlin Wall
Forget the rat-filled trenches
Forget the kids who fall
Forget those left behind
Don’t let it enter your mind
Forget those caught between
You know my hands are clean
I’m your leader
You must do as I say
Crush the weak and sick
And those who disobey
I am your only king
Whom you cannot betray
I’m your leader
You must do as I say
Forget Hiroshima
That was simply a mistake
We didn’t need to bomb them
We just wanted them to break
Forget the blistering skins
You’re on the side that wins
Forget …
They …
I’m your leader
Your lives belong to me
Sacrifice yourselves to war
And then you’ll be free
I’ll teach you how to die
With grace and dignity
I’m your leader
Your lives belong to me
Forget 9-11
We can’t be blamed for that
We were taken by surprise
Let’s brush it under the mat
Forget the returned fire
There’s a war to be won
And we were havin’ our revenge
What would you have done?
I’m your leader
You must do as I say
Crush the weak and sick
And those who disobey
I am your only king
Whom you cannot betray
I’m your leader
You must do as I say
Smell of fear, smell of pain
Every man must know his place
I’m your leader anyway
You are mine to stay
Forget the body bags
Forget the broken homes
Don’t grieve for those who die
They’re only flesh and bones
Don’t say et decorum est pro patria mori
Sweet and honourable it is
To die for your country
I’m your leader
Your lives belong to me
Sacrifice yourselves to war
And then you’ll be free
I’ll teach you how to die
With grace and dignity
I’m your leader
Your lives belong to me
Forget the Berlin Wall
Forget the rat-filled trenches
Forget the kids who fall
Forget those left behind
Don’t let it enter your mind
Forget those caught between
You know my hands are clean
I’m your leader
You must do as I say
Crush the weak and sick
And those who disobey
I am your only king
Whom you cannot betray
I’m your leader
