Principalities

Show restraint in all things Go to sleep when the sun goes down Wake up in the morning when it rises Know yourself, don't know anyone else You are stuck to rules where you live in principalities Beware of the system Be honest with all the victims you need To covet youth and covet children In principalities The palace of wisdom is closed for business Go find yourself within yourself The finest marble torso could take all night A thousand Italian craftsmen working their whole lives Beyond the ocean there is an island And it exists in your brainpan Where most of you are And if you don’t understand, find another man Take a punch at his face for your friends But know that you are all of the finest things You need to beard the lion You need to beard that lion You need to find in yourself The things off the shelf of principalities You gotta fill the wine, follow the wire You follow the wire Now take your little boyfriends They didn't understand All the Italian craftsmen don't hear what they’re saying They don't understand, feel the wire, there is one Feel the golden goose flail Beard the lion, you're by yourself There is no one else, it's all inside Look for the wire, the knowledge is there The knowledge is there, principalities Look at what we've done, a part of the system Feel the wine, spill the win We could all kill one Your own suicide, they're outside I'm feeling fine standing outside You have been denied, it's what we want, the setting sun Son, I’m having fun in principalities Let’s get inside Principalities
