I built a wall in China, I sank an ocean liner 
I've wrecked homes, I've burned thrones, chasing the crown 
I've put thorns in your feet, I spread plague in the streets 
I've sprung traps, confused maps, chasing the crown 
 
I'm chasing the crown till he bites the apple 
I was licking my lips till his Son come down 
I'm chasing the crown, the crown, I'm chasing the crown 
I'm taking a turn in the right direction 
By leaving his soul in the lost and found 
I'm chasing the crown, I'm chasing the crown 
 
I saw the tea float in Boston, I saw the live wire shock them 
I made them float, I made them drown, chasing the crown 
I laid the desert sands, I froze the polar caps 
Well, they'd dry out, and I'd shout "Hey I'm chasing the crown"
