lyrics

We met inside the institution
To discuss the whole affair
If we were part of the solution
Then we neither were aware
We talked the great and the good
And the misunderstood
Contemplated what we should
Have begun to prepare

As the evening went on longer
And the beer went swiftly down
The conviction swelled up stronger
And our sympathies were drowned
Discussed our various schemes
That covered multiple themes
But it was not what it seemed
As we later found

(Chorus)
We were the leaders of the world
Leaders of the world in our own heads
We had created world peace
Wiped out all the disease by the end
But revolution was masked
By the now empty glass
And at the end of it all
We both went home

We realised the dream was over
From all the money we had spent
And the size of the hangover
The ibuprofen couldn't mend
The disappointment we felt
As the memories melted
Made us laugh out as well
'Cos just for a short time
