Crown Of Thorns Lyrics

my mum took me to a parade when i was six years old i saw a man who wore a smile and a cardboard crown of gold my mother said the greatest king always looked forlorn the greatest king my mother said, he wore a crown of thorns my mum read me a story 'bout a princess and a pea 'bout how the princess's ass was softer than mine must be mother said the greatest prince slept on a bed of straw, born in a lowly stable and he wore a crown of thorns he wore a crown of thorns i saw a man in uniform up on a big fine horse i thought he was soldier though he was a cop of course my mother said the greatest soldier's clothes were tattered and torn and he rode upon a donkey and he wore a crown of thorns he wore a crown of thorns i saw a billboard by the road said i would be reborn had a picture of a skinny man wearing a crown of thorns i asked "ma is that him, the greatest king of all? 'cause if it is i do not like the look of him at all" the greatest king my mother said, he wore a crown of thorns
