Crown Of Thorns Lyrics

Why do we wait till some one dead

To put a crown on their head. Tell me why

You did not care when he was alive

He gone water in your eyes. Tell me why

He was the same one you used to bad mouth

You had negative things to say

You treated him with disdain and scorn

Couldn't find one good thing to say

So, dry your crocodile tears

You're shedding my dear

Go way from me

I can't support hypocrisy

When you gone and your life has no value

That is when they'll honour you

When you dead, when you dead

They are going to sing your praise

Swear they won't forget your name

When you dead, when you dead

When you can't say thank you

For all the good they saying 'bout you

When you can't feel a sense of pride

Deep down in side

I beg you keep your crown of thorns when I'm gone

Keep it, keep it, keep it. I beg you keep it

Why some children pretend to care

When their daddy no longer here? Tell me why

Why they eulogise him so long

but never lend him a hand? Tell me why

Her dear mother she said was filthy

And a shame to be around

Now her soul departed her body

You don't want her go under ground

Go, dry your weeping eyes

Devil in disguise

Ungrateful child

Bag your face when you cry

When you gone and your life has no value

That is when they'll honour you

When you dead, when you dead

They are going to sing your praise

Swear they won't forget your name

When you dead, when you dead

When you cant take a bow. Or eyes glow from all of the love

When you can't celebrate in style

Shake hands and smile

I beg you keep your crown of thorns when I'm gone

Keep it, keep it, keep it, I beg you keep it

Some artists only get airplay

When their ghost drifting away? Tell me why

Their repertoire put on holiday

Soon as they dead every song you'll hear? Tell my why

His contributions went unnoticed

His talent they underrate

Till he's buried his songs on repeat

And you'll hear how his lyrics sweet

Yes, some Judges were unfair

Scored him low every year

These same vagabonds

Want to send him off with a crown

When you gone and your life has no value

That is when they'll honour you

When you dead, when you dead

They are going to sing your praise

Swear they won't forget your name

When you dead, when you dead

When you can't make a memory

Or bask in your creativity

If I can't dance to my own songs

Playing all day long

I beg you keep your crown of thorns when I'm gone

I say Keep it, keep it, keep it. I beg you keep it
