Burn the Crown
TitanChord
Intro
Verse 1
Match in the throne room, smile on my face
Boys behind me with the gasoline cans
Sheriff's at the bottom of a borrowed pew
Pastor's at the back with the loan he ran
Every king I ever bowed to
Bought my back for a paycheck price
Time the receipt came due in full
Time the crown caught the fire twice
Pre-Chorus
Strike the match
Watch the gold
Bow no more to bought-and-sold
Chorus
Burn the crown, burn the crown
Watch the gold run molten down
Ash on the throne, dirt on the king
I'd rather rule a town that's mine
Verse 2
Wife said honey, watch your back
Bosses don't forget that fast
I said honey, I been watched my whole life
Now I want the watching to come and pass
Bring your sheriffs, bring your suits
Bring your judges with the borrowed gavels
Bring whatever you can hire
I been training for the cavalry
Pre-Chorus
Strike the match
Watch the gold
Bow no more to bought-and-sold
Chorus
Burn the crown, burn the crown
Watch the gold run molten down
Ash on the throne, dirt on the king
I'd rather rule a town that's mine
Bridge
Pharaohs fell, pharaohs fall
Babylon, Berlin, them all
Whoever's next is just a name
Already carved on a wall of shame
Burn the crown, burn the crown
Watch the gold run molten down
Ash on the throne, dirt on the king
I'd rather rule a town that's mine
I'd rather rule a town that's mine
I'd rather rule a town that's mine
