The Leader Lyrics

The song The Leader is performed by The Clash in the album named Clash on Broadway in the year 2004 .



Atom secrets, secret leaflet
Have the boys found the leak yet?
The molehill sets the wheel in motion
His downfall picks up locomotion

You gotta give the people
Something good to read
On a Sunday

Now, the leader's wife takes a government car
In the dark to meet her minister
But the leader never leaves his door ajar
As he swings his whip from the Boer war

The people must have
Something good to read
On a Sunday

He wore a leather mask for his dinner guests
Totally nude and with deep respect
Proposed a toast to the votes he gets
The feeling of power and the thought of s*x

The people must have
Something good to read
On a Sunday

Now the girl let the fat man touch her
Vodka fumes and the feel of a vulture
The driver waited in the emba*sy car
The fat man's trap was set for capture

So the girl let the thin man touch her
Mixing questions, drunken laughter
The ministry car was waiting there
A minister knows his own affair

The people must have
Something good to read
On a Sunday
