I Want My Crown Ry Cooder

[Verse 1]
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 it cannot stand

[Chorus]
And I want my crown, well I want my crown
The working man has been cast down
And I want my crown

[Verse 2]
And 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

[Chorus]
I want my crown, yes and I want my crown
Justice has been cast down
I want my crown, I want my crown

[Verse 3]
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
