[Verse 1] Crowd on the corner Masks on their teeth Gasoline slogans Spray paint belief You say “burn it Break it Tear it down” But you don’t stay When the sirens drown the sound [Pre-Chorus] I’ve seen kids Sleep in busted schools Old men Drowning in the rules We don’t fix a cracked glass By grinding it to sand You’re swinging wild At the only steady hand [Chorus] I don’t want your chaos crown I won’t worship what you burn Order in the ashes now We’ve got more to lose than you’ll ever learn Raise your voice Raise it loud Build it up Don’t tear this ground I don’t want your chaos crown Order in the ashes now [Verse 2] You light up a match Then you call it truth Walk off While it eats some stranger’s roof You preach revolution From a safe front row But you don’t know the names Of the people in the smoke [Pre-Chorus] I’ve seen moms Hold two jobs to eat Your joke Is their busted street You scream “all rules are cages” From your borrowed throne I’ve bled under badges That still feel like home [Chorus] I don’t want your chaos crown I won’t worship what you burn Order in the ashes now We’ve got more to lose than you’ll ever learn Raise your voice Raise it loud Build it up Don’t tear this ground I don’t want your chaos crown Order in the ashes now (oh-oh) Order in the ashes now [Bridge] [Band drops; ragtime-tinged piano and low strings] Cardboard signs And cheap champagne You love the fire You dodge the blame You call it “free” To watch it fall But freedom’s just a word If there’s nothing left at all [Instrumental] [Screaming guitar solo over pounding drums and full orchestra swells] [Chorus] I don’t want your chaos crown I won’t worship what you burn Order in the ashes now We’ve got more to lose than you’ll ever learn Guard the fragile Guard this town Stone by stone We hold this ground I don’t want your chaos crown Order in the ashes now (yeah) Order in the ashes now
