  • Billionaires in their yachts can't
    Dream the life that I got can't
    No they can't stop the clocks can't
    Stop the crowning of the poor

    Billionaires in their yachts can't
    Live the life that I got can't
    Zillionaires on their plots can't
    Stop the crowning of the poor

    Millionaires with the stocks can't
    Electric gates and the locks can't
    Greedy banks and the tanks can't
    Stop the crowning of the poor

    Palaces do fall and crumble
    Dynasties do take a tumble
    Birds will sing
    The earth will rumble
    At the crowning of the poor
    Trumpets sound
    And bells are ringing
    Boys and girls the grown me singing
    Women with the joy they're bringing
    To the crowning of the poor

    Billionaires in their yachts can't
    Dream the life that I got can't
    Have to stand at the coronation of the
    Crowning of the poor

    At the crowning of the poor
    At the crowning of the poor
    At the crowning of the poor

    I'm the son of a poor boy
    Showed me nobody better than I
    He's the son of a poor girl
    Twirled her hair so to make it curl

    I'm the son of a poor boy
    Showed me nobody better than I
    He's the son of a poor girl
    Twirled her hair so to make it curl

    At the crowning of the poor
    At the crowning of the poor
    At the crowning of the poor Writer/s: DAVE MCCRACKEN, IAN BROWN
