[ Featuring the barrio ]
Can we take our fate in our own hands
Could the hand be trusted to understand
We're at a loss
Nailed to our savior's cross
Hoping to rise above
Dust and ashes
We revel in sunshine
And die in a coal mine
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
Must the wretched mortal wait patiently
For a drop of peace
Between calamity and agony
On route to eternity
The soul free finally
From dust and ashes
We revel in sunshine
And die in a coal mine
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
Laughed at by the gods
Who gave a rising to a song
And since we are all sinners
We'll cast the stone
Angels who fell down
Kings and queens have now become
Kings and queens of slum
We revel in sunshine
And die in a coal mine
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
Kings and queens of slum
Fighting for a crumb
