Nobody Left To Crown - Richie Havens

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

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

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

Nobody left to crown

Nobody left to crown

Nobody left to crown

Nobody left to crown
