The Restoration of Chaos and Order
Against All Authority Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Spoken)
You're free and freedom is beautiful,
And uh you know it will take time to
Restore chaos and order, but we, but we will

Chaos and order will destroy us
Gonna be your saviour, and your employer
So punch it get down on your knees
Wash up the creator of this disease

The worlds doing time
Don't step outta line it will all be fine
Just surrender your mind
Take part in the crime
Fight out with the swine
The burning bodies look so pretty
In the night they shine

The dead are not concerned
The restoration of chaos and order
Cities crumble and bodies burn
The restoration of chaos and order
The dead are not concerned
The restoration of chaos and order
The rivers shine when the bodies burn
The restoration of chaos and order

Chaos and order will destroy us
Gonna be your saviour, and your employer
So punch it get down on your knees
Wash up the creator of this disease

The worlds doing time
Don't step outta line it will all be fine
Just surrender your mind
Take part in the crime
Fight out with the swine
The burning bodies look so pretty
In the night they shine

The dead are not concerned
The restoration of chaos and order
Cities crumble and bodies burn
The restoration of chaos and order
The dead are not concerned
The restoration of chaos and order
The rivers shine when the bodies burn
The restoration of chaos and order

And I'm feeling fine while they shine
Sleeping with the swine while they shine
The restoration of chaos and order
Restoration of chaos and order
Restoration of chaos and order
Restoration of chaos and order

And I'm feeling fine while they shine
Sleeping with the swine while they shine
The restoration of chaos and order
Restoration of chaos and order
Restoration of chaos and order
Restoration of chaos and order




Chaos and order
Chaos and order now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Restoration of Chaos and Order" by Against All Authority are open to interpretation, but they seemingly critique the idea of maintaining order at the cost of individual freedom. The first verse suggests that chaos and order will ultimately lead to destruction, and that obedience is the only way to survive. The second verse seems to promote anarchy, with lines such as "fight out with the swine" and "take part in the crime." The refrain, "the restoration of chaos and order," implies that chaos and order are cyclical and that they are being perpetuated by someone or something.


The spoken introduction, "You're free and freedom is beautiful," is an ironic contrast to the rest of the song, which seems to argue that freedom is dangerous and must be suppressed. The repeated line, "the dead are not concerned," could be interpreted as a criticism of those who value order over individual lives. Overall, the song seems to be a call to revolution, advocating for the restoration of chaos instead of submission to authority.


Line by Line Meaning

You're free and freedom is beautiful,
You have freedom which is a beautiful thing,


And uh you know it will take time to
However, it will take some time to


Restore chaos and order, but we, but we will
Restore chaos and order nevertheless, and we will.


Chaos and order will destroy us
Chaos and order will, ultimately, destroy us


Gonna be your saviour, and your employer
I will be your savior and employer


So punch it get down on your knees
So hit it and get down on your knees


Wash up the creator of this disease
Cleanse and purify the creator of this affliction


The worlds doing time
The world is paying its dues


Don't step outta line it will all be fine
Do not deviate and everything will be okay


Just surrender your mind
Just give up your mind


Take part in the crime
Engage in the wrongdoing


Fight out with the swine
Struggle with the worthless individuals


The burning bodies look so pretty
The corpses on fire are visually attractive


In the night they shine
They glow at night


The dead are not concerned
Dead people are not worried


The restoration of chaos and order
The reestablishment of chaos and order


Cities crumble and bodies burn
Cities fall apart and corpses incinerate


The rivers shine when the bodies burn
The rivers glitter when corpses burn


And I'm feeling fine while they shine
I am okay as they glow


Sleeping with the swine while they shine
I sleep with worthless individuals as they glow


Restoration of chaos and order
Reestablishment of chaos and order


Chaos and order
Chaos and order


Chaos and order now
Chaos and order, this very moment
