I Want My Crown - Ry Cooder

In the dark of night the secret vote was cast

We drove the union down at last

My evil deeds have ruined the land

A house divided cannot stand

I want my crown, I want my crown

The working man has been cast down

I want my crown, I want my crown

Then the day dawned bright and hard

When I stole away the court of nine

The Judas men served the cause

And the sacred church of law is mine

I want my crown, I want my crown

Justice has been cast down

I want my crown, I want my crown

You love the gleaming war machine

Your hearts beat fast, your eyes on the prize

War without end, riches untold

Oil and God and your righteous pride

I want my crown, I want my crown

Peace on earth has been cast down

I want my crown, I want my crown

I’m going to sit here and watch your little world come tumbling down

I want my’crown, I want my crown
