Lookin' for a Leader

Lookin' for a Leader - Neil Young

Lookin' for a leader

To bring our country home

Re unite the red white and blue

Before it turns to stone

Lookin' for somebody

Young enough to take it on

Clean up the corruption

And make the country strong

Walkin' among our people

There's someone who's straight and strong

To lead us from desolation

And a broken world gone wrong

Someone walks among us

And I hope he hears the call

And maybe it's a woman

Or a black man after all

Maybe it's Obama

But he thinks that he's too young

Maybe it's Colin Powell

To right what he's done wrong

America has a leader

But he's not in the house

He's wacking here among us

And we've got to seek him out

Yeah we've got our election

But corruption has a chance

We got to have a clean win

To regain confidence

America is beautiful

But she has an ugly side

We're lookin' for a leader

In this country far and wide

We're lookin' for a leader

With the great spirit on his side

We're lookin' for a leader

With the great spirit on his side

Someone walks among us

And I hope he hears the call

And maybe it's a woman

Or a black man after all
