Would You Kindly
A masquerade has just begun
Despite the party being none too lively
Unlock your cage and take a step outside it
Follow my guidance would you kindly?
Who would sign their own death certificate?
The kind that no one dared
To question if legitimate?
The same man who ran a contraband syndicate
Just you wait with bated breath
His resurrection's imminent
Had to burn the past
To invest in futuristics
And turn the orphans of
Dystopia into a business
Big brother should've kept his
Eye on little sisters
But now any witnesses are
Swimmin' with the fishes
I started from the top
Took a plunge to the bottom
Waited 'till my name became long forgotten
Remade myself among the paupers
Dropped into their Sodom
This impoverished populace - back to
The top I've brought 'em
Taught 'em how to topple corruption
Find you a lighter ignite a revolution
You can fight fire with fire!
Why would i try to build
An empire for myself?
When I can just take one
Away from someone else
If you wonder who's entitled to
The sweat of your brow
Stop workin' so hard, I'll get you a towel
I rejected Ryan's message
But I took his keys
Will the real Fontaine please stand
Up? Don't look at me!
Maybe you should've asked nicer
Try a "Would You Kindly?" grab a map
Or an Atlas - you'll never find me
So much Adam and Plasmids writhing inside me
Break the Great Chain weighin' us
Down - now I'm free!
Pray the voices are not delusions
This city's twisted nature
Echoed in these stains
And your choices - far from illusion
Embrace the searing pain of
Chaos in your veins forget identity
A concept that is dead to me
Much unlike destiny
I sculpted what you're meant to be
Our latest visitor's about to
Hit the deep end thanks to a plane crash
Ain't that convenient? An angel from above
But in the depths he'll find devils
How far will he sink? I'll bring
Him down to my level no one knows Jack - my
Master plan can't get out, this
Ain't a wonderland you stumbled into, Alice
I've been playin' around in your egg salad
How did you think I got
Ryan's crown without a ballot?
I'm here to stay, but I ain't campaignin'
I'll take the reins
Rapture needs maintaining
The city's leaking
Adam and Eve are drainin'
So grab a shortwave radio
I won't leave you hangin'
That is unless it's at the tip of
A rivet or from a noose
Better than being the errand boy
For that floozy mother Goose
You ain't useless to me
You're my ace in the hole
But you got deuces and threes
Yet you ain't gonna fold?
Got you barking like a cocker
Spaniel on my command speaking of dogs
You recall what you've done
With those hands?
So when you see those little freaks
Kill their daddies and grab 'em
What's a little brat to you
Mook? Harvest their Adam! Cuz next to that
Cash is nothing if you wanna be rich
Get your hands on a tonic
This is not a fraudulent pitch
Remember ammo ain't so plentiful
You don't wanna run outta clips
Until you get to Ryan's office and
Kill that son of a bitch
I'm a man of many faces
But I'm calling off the masquerade
Underneath this act, I'm faceless
You're just a performer
And I've cast the play
Curtains drawn, face the crowd
Know your lines, say them loud
Play your part, make us proud
Hear applause and take a bow
Nice work boyo
I'll try to make your death quick
They say, never mix business with friendship
But you've been the best partner
That I ever worked with
I treated you more like a father
Than even yours did
I'll run Rapture tit's to toes now
That I got the clout
Any problem with that, scrub? Come on up
We'll slug it out!
Think you got power? You're
Nothin' but twenty watts
I'm the lights of Broadway
I brought a mob and I'm it's boss
Who told you that you're special?
Born to do great things?
Tattooed your brain with memories
Then ripped away your wings?
Who showed you what you was and
All the wonders you'd accomplish?
If you don't call that family
I don't know what is
My name's Atlas, I aim to keep you alive
Till Frank Fontaine rises
I'll sweep you aside
My name's Atlas, I aim to keep you alive
Till Frank Fontaine rises
I'll sweep you aside
