When I stand here
And when they all cheer
And raise their glasses and voices high
Oblivious to all
That has taken place
With everlasting grace
I'll be able at last to finally say...
♪
It seemed simpler then
It seemed even younger than it was
An innocence mentioned only in whispered thoughts
Too afraid even in the sanctity of my own head
They'll just get a new leader when I am good and dead
♪
Quietly, patiently
The fearless leader stands before the hordes of followers
The mass of believers and he says,
"I'm not the one you want; I'm not the man you need."
And he smiled and he jumped and he fell
To his death he fell.
He smiled
He smiled
Run along cartoon watcher
They're looking for a real man
Run along cartoon watcher
They're looking for a real plan.
He smiled
