Kevin Johnson - For The Good Of The Nation lyrics

I've got one eye on the mirror I've got one eye on the road And I'm on my way again I've got one foot in tomorrow I've hot one foot in today Now and then, I am standing in the darkness But I'm talking from the light I am leaning to the left But I'm feeling for the right I've got simple explanations For complex situations And I'm working for the good of the nation There are people who are with me there are people who are not As you'll imagine There are people out to get me With everything they've got It's plain to see, there are those who criticise me for everything I do They say I'm taking from the many to give to just a few Well, there are certain limitations With every aspiration When you're working for the good of the nation For the good of the nation For the good of my own country It's an act of dedication And that's good enough for me You may have your own opinion how the country ought to be there's no denying that You may have your own opinion just what you make of me And that's a fact But you know it isn't easy Keeping one ear to the ground While you're running with the foxes While you're hunting with the hounds You get little compensation For the trials and tribulations Of Working for the good of the nation For the good of the nation For the good of my own country It's an act of dedication And that's good enough for me
