I´m sick of working for a living
I´m just ticking off the days till I die
Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth

Oh, periscope up
I´ve been looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to me, oh

Your mum don´t sleep, oh
And the friends you keep
I didn´t raise a thief
I didn´t raise a thief

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it´s easy to ignore
Till they´re knocking on the door of your homes, yeah

My thinking isn´t driven, oh
But the music always gives me a lift
I´m so easy to please, yeah
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60´s didn´t happen, oh no

Oh, periscope up
Should be looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to you and me, oh

Your mum don´t sleep, oh
And the friends you keep
I didn´t raise a thief
I didn´t raise a thief

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it´s easy to ignore
Till they´re knocking on the door of your homes

But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it´s easy to ignore
Till they´re knocking on the door of your homes

Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We´re climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We´re climbing a landslide where only the good die young

(Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
Oh, periscope up
I´ve been looking for a ladder
(We´re climbing a landslide where only the good die young)
I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
And remind him what was passed on to me, oh

(Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
Oh, periscope up
I´ve been looking for a ladder
(We´re climbing a landslide where only the good die young)
