God save the queen
I mean it man
I can't imagine a more subtle way to say you're better
Turn the other cheek
I'm your biggest fan
I can't imagine a more subtle way to say you're better
And everybody knows the little people are busy waiting
And everybody knows the consequence of being first is you on a wooden tower
It's you holding those coins
They say that you traded it for power
But you know that you did it so they'd join
And all the hungry mouths and all the empty bellies
And all the spaces in-between the Will and you and me
And all the times you said you cannot trust the Others
And all the times you said the Other is not me
God save the queen
I mean it man
I can't imagine a more subtle way to say you're better
You're born better
You
You
You're born better
You're born
My father told me there are always firsts
But they are never the vanguard
Those glorious pawns that conceive of only kings and queens
They are fodder for the knights and bishops
The peddlers of noble pride and pious charity
Pushing the rabble of us to their ends
They say
At the other side you will become royal and powerful
Unfettered in movement
But for now
Know the game
He said
Know the pieces
He said
And never feed a tiger your hand on the promise it won't eat your arm
