Principalities of man got you down in the mouth
You're a single grain of sand, so you can't stand out
Misery on every corner looking for handouts
You got people (?) and you don't know what about
Just turn your eyes to the sky and remove all doubt
'Cause they'll eat you alive
In your heart, you feel right but they tell you you're wrong
The melody you orchestrate don't go with the song
You're only waiting in vain, don't make a difference how long
They tell you "˜get off the stage,' but you can't hear the gong
So stop beating your chest and acting like King Kong
'Cause they'll eat you alive
'Cause they'll eat you alive
