The Greatest Show On Earth

The Leader

Ambitious politician has a statue in the park
The leader raised his arm to make the grade
Take a stand for history and let the world be dark
Now mothers weep for sons and kneel to pray

Power-mad dictator gets to using men like sheep
Blind to see the paths they're being lead
Where the agitator walks freedom's left to sleep
Now liberty democracy are dead

Greet the golden sunrise when the dawn reveals the truth
A change of mood can brings quick decline
The needle sharp orator's lost the fire of his youth

By sunset he is from another time

Stood alone by the edge of the sand
And the promises for man were hollow
Felt the air had a sense of despair
When the leader sang so I could follow
Tormented with rage, demented by age
I could see by his eyes he was crying
A man incomplete, a man in defeat
Just silently waiting and dying.
