The Leader
Words & Music: Eric Winston
Motihari Brigade Music (ASCAP) © ℗ 2019

Well the leader knows what’s best
And he will put you to the test
So if you have some doubts
What it is all about
The leader knows what’s best
The leader knows what’s best

Do you remember Watergate?
Do you remember Vietnam?
Well they were no big deal
Just the usual steal
There’s no cause for alarm
There’s no cause for alarm

Because the leader knows what’s best
And he will put you to the test
So if you have some doubts what it is all about
The leader knows what’s best
The leader knows what’s best

Well I have seen their policy
And it makes no sense to me
But I can only say what I been told
Standing outside here in the cold
The leader must know something more
I hope that he knows something more

Because I just do as I’m told
It’s not my job to be in control
Living free in a democracy
Free of responsibility
Free of responsibility

Because the leader knows what’s best
And he will put you to the test
So if you have some doubts what it is all about
The leader knows what’s best
The leader knows what’s best

In the United States you see
Things are the way they are meant to be
The people in charge are the ones with power
Living inside their corporate tower
And the people divided and ruled
The people divided and ruled

You bet the leaders know what’s best
For themselves and not the rest
So give the leader your best
or he will cut you down
It’s best for the leader if you don’t make a sound
The leader knows what’s best
The leader knows what’s best

Motihari Brigade

Rock-N-Roll Thoughtcrime for independent minds.
Rock-n-Roll began in rebellion. Beautiful outcasts claimed a musical voice to freely express humanity. Meanwhile plastic corporate robots distracted and placated the masses. Artificial programming flooded our tele-screens with a hypnotic culture of fear and division. You need not consume what you are fed. Escape zombie-dystopia. Find your band. ... more
