CHORUS
We rule the world without a crown
We’ve built it up to break it down
We’re breaking it down
We’re breaking it down
Enjoy the show and let go

VERSE 1
We play the leading role in this disasterpiece
We’re left alone with all of our worst enemies, our worst enemies
Drown ’em in gasoline and watch the flames climb high
Improve reality with just one little lie, just one little lie

CHORUS
We rule the world without a crown
We’ve built it up to break it down
We’re breaking it down
We’re breaking it down
Enjoy the show and let go
We’re breaking it down
We’re 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
Break it down
Break it down
Tear it all down to the ground
Break it down
Break it down
Tear it all down to
Tear it all down to the ground

CHORUS
We rule the world without a crown
We’ve built it up to break it down
We’re breaking it down
We’re breaking it down
Enjoy the show and let go

We rule the world without a crown
We’ve built it up to break it down
We’re breaking it down
We’re breaking it down
Enjoy the show and let go

We’re breaking it down
Enjoy the show and let go
