When blood congeals in rivers Your ships won't sail no more Whoever you are you need us to get along Whatever you say or do might be wrong Don't forget you're dealing Not with money but man Do you still have feelings? Try to feel it if you can Maybe you would change them And maybe understand Whoever you are you need us to get along Whatever you say or do might be wrong All your glasses of champagne Are filled with tears of pain We were crying out for mercy You were elected in vain You always promise us paradise but only give us hell (well) Whoever you are you need us to get along Whatever you say or do might be wrong Leaders I'm just a singer of a Rock'n Blues band Leaders I'm singing for the people of a Rock'n Blues land You always promise paradise but only give us hell Whoever we are we need you to get along Whatever I say or do might be wrong Leaders Leaders Leaders Leaders Leaders Leaders Leaders Leaders Lyrics & Music: Wolfgang Michels **************************************** For more information on Percewood's Onagram: http://www.percewoods-onagram.de http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percewood%E2%80%99s_Onagram Extra tags: 2012 singer songwriter acoustic Rock unplugged Beatles John Lennon Rolling Stones Mick Jagger Keith Richards Neil Young Bob Dylan Crosby Stills Nash CSN CSN&Y R&B American English music magic wood ships
