Richie Havens
Nobody Left to Crown
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Don't go around taking up no collections on our way down
There's nobody left to crown
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
If we want freedom we've got to amend it on our way down
There's nobody left to crown
[Verse 3]
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
Home, 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 right now
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
[Chorus]
On our way down
There's nobody left to crown
[Outro]
Nobody left to crown
Nobody left to crown
Nobody left to crown
Nobody left to crown
