You Still Have a Long Way to Go
(joan) that crown that i put on your head doesn't make you a king
yes, you heard what i said, doesn't make you a king
all the armies i led couldn't make you a king
(charley) oh, is that so?
(joan) i haven't finished yet!
the throne i put under your seat, doesn't make you a king
half of france at your feet doesn't make you a king
half of france, i repeat, doesn't make you a king!
(charley) oh no?
(joan) oh no, oh no!
you still have a long way to go
(charley) well let me tell you that the halo you're starting to wear
doesn't make you a saint
and that sanctified air doesn't make you a saint
all that kneeling and prayer doesn't make you a saint
(joan) who said it did?
(charley) i'm very sorry but the voices that you think that you hear, they don't make you a saint
wishful thinking my dear doesn't make you saint
make yourself dissapear, that'll make you a saint!
(charley) oh-ho!
(joan) oh-ho!
(charley + joan) oh-ho!
you still have a long way to go!
(charley) show a little respect!
(joan) i'd love to! tell me when
(charley) you're forgetting your place again!
(joan) forgetting my place? and where is that, please?
(charley) well, it's not on my throne!
(joan) well, it's not on my knees!
(joan) you can sit and sign your name until you run out of light, doesn't mean you can rule
(charley) well, at least i can write!
(joan) so can any damn fool!
just because you can write doesn't mean you can rule!
(charley) oh no!
(charley + joan) oh no! oh no!
you still have a long way to go!
(joan) and you're mistaken if you think that the (???) you wear really make you a man
and a chest full of hair really makes you a man
and whatever's down there really makes you a man
(charley) oh ho!
(charley + joan) oh ho! oh ho!
(charley) where do you think you would be if it wasn't for me?
(joan) and where do you think that you'd be if it wasn't for me?
(charley) i'll tell you where you'd be, back on the farm with the pigs! chickens and slop!
(joan) you'd still be begging for scraps and the scrapings and anyone--
(charley + joan) that's where you'd be, mon amie, just in case you don't know!
you still have a long way to go!
(charley) a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long
(charley + joan) a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long
long, long, long, long, long, long
way to go!
yes, you heard what i said, doesn't make you a king
all the armies i led couldn't make you a king
