We rule the world without a crown
Weβve built it up to break it down
Weβre breaking it down

Enjoy the show and let go
VERSE 1
Weβre left alone with all of our worst enemies, our worst enemies
Drown βem in gasoline and watch the flames climb high
Improve reality with just one little lie, just one little lie
CHORUS

Weβre breaking it down
Enjoy the show and let go
VERSE 2
Deep in the firestorm we feel the waves collide
The sirens sound so peaceful, the moment we die, the moment we die
BRIDGE

Tear it all down to the ground

Tear it all down to
Tear it all down to the ground
