A Leader Always Carries a Stick Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, a leader walks with force
Oh, a leader makes the most of what he can, of what he can
Oh, a leader flaunts his strength
Oh, a leader takes command of what he can, of what he can

[Chorus]
But he always carries a stick

[Verse 2]
Oh, a leader fills the bags
Oh, a leader joins the ranks when he can, when he can
Oh, a leader takes good aim
Oh, a leader plays the game when he can, when he can

[Chorus]
But he always carries a stick
But he always carries a stick

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
