[Verse 1]
Clock in
Eyes roll
Same jokes
Same control
Plastic smiles
Sharpened teeth
Backroom deals
Underneath
You swing your title
Like a rusted chain
But the shine on your name tag
Doesn’t hide your stain
[Chorus]
Take your paper crown
And burn it to the ground (yeah scream)
You’re a hollow throne
That’s crashing
Crashing down
I bow to nothing now
I tear your kingdom out
Take your paper crown
And choke on it
Choke on it now
[Verse 2]
Backstab
Handshake
Thin praise
Thick fake
You pin your power
On a stapled lie
But your kingdom’s just cubicles
Stacked to the sky
You talk like a tyrant
In a swivel chair
But every word you spit
Just poisons the air
[Chorus]
Take your paper crown
And burn it to the ground (hey)
You’re a hollow throne
That’s crashing
Crashing down
I bow to nothing now
I tear your kingdom out
Take your paper crown
And choke on it
Choke on it now
[Bridge]
[Breakdown
Tempo drops
Guitars chug in half-time]
All your fake respect
All your staged “we care”
All your shiny memos
I’ll feed them to the flare
You are
So small
So small
So small
[Deep growl]
I’LL GRIND YOUR THRONE
TO OFFICE DUST
[Final Chorus]
Take your paper crown
And burn it to the ground
You’re a hollow throne
I’m done with playing down
I bow to nothing now
I tear your kingdom out (tear it out)
Take your paper crown
And choke on it
Choke on it now (scream)
