Richie Havens - Nobody Left To Crown lyrics

To those of you seeking perfection Oh Lord it's not a long, long way to go All you need is a bit of reflection Just might seem like changing direction right now Don't go around taking up no collections On your way down There's nobody left to crown What if politicians were all good guys Oh Lord don't we wish they were We would not be so dependent On courts of laws that make us all feel like defendants sometimes If we want freedom we've got to amend it On our way down There's nobody left to crown Be it ever so humble There's no place like home Homeâ?¦home on the range Where the fear and the antidotes play Where seldom is heard An encouraging word And our leaders do nothing all day What if they gave an election And nobody came to vote The system it needs a bit of correction Just might seem like changing direction right now As it stands we don't even make the selections And to get into Heaven we even need a connection On our way down There's nobody left to crown
