The Leader - The Clash

Atom secrets, secret leaflet

Have the boys found the leak yet?

Molehill sets the wheel in motion

His downfall picks up locomotion

You gotta give the people somethin' good to read on a Sunday

Now the leader’s wife takes a government car

In the dark to meet the minister

But the leader never leaves his door ajar

Swings a 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 sex

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

Driver waited in the embassy car

The fat man’s trap was set for capture

The girl let the thin man touch her

Mixing questions, drunken laughter

Ministry car waitin' there

Minister knows his own affair

The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
