[Verse 1]
We came up from the dust
With our names in our teeth
Hands full of rust
And a fire underneath
They said stay in line
We said watch us go
Kicked down the gate
Like we already know
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel that rumble grow
Under skin and stone
One small spark can wake
What they tried to own
[Chorus]
Break these broken chains
Break these broken chains
We were born for more
We were born for more
Break these broken chains
Break these broken chains
Raise your hands up high
Till they can't ignore
[Verse 2]
Paper crown, paper lies
We tore them in the street
Every locked-up door
Turned to shaking feet
Now the whole town hums
With a brand-new sound
No more asking please
We don't bow down
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel that rumble grow
Under skin and stone
One small spark can wake
What they tried to own
[Chorus]
Break these broken chains
Break these broken chains
We were born for more
We were born for more
Break these broken chains
Break these broken chains
Raise your hands up high
Till they can't ignore
[Bridge]
If they push, we push back
If they bend, we stand
Every scar we wear
Is a working hand
[Chorus]
Break these broken chains
Break these broken chains
We were born for more
We were born for more
Break these broken chains
Break these broken chains
Raise your hands up high
Till they can't ignore
