Old Friend Lyrics by The Art of Pleasing Princes Princeton University Players Cast

The Art of Pleasing Princes (Princeton University Players Cast Recording)

0

MADDOX
Two years I wasted, waiting
While you dallied as you pleased
If this is how you treat your friends
I’d hate to see your enemies!
Would making you the king
Fix a whole defective state?
Any trust in petty promises
Was left behind that prison grate
So the government’s lacking
So the scriptures aren’t right
Who cares? What’s new? What can we do?
And who the hell asked you to fight?
Old friend, I know you too well
You’re a narcissistic ass who won’t go easy on the sell
Old friend, I don’t need you anymore
So take your bag of deadly tricks
And your milquetoast politics
I’ll get out this time before you lock the door
ROWAN
Sure, run off with your lover
And forget the things we planned
Unlike you, I can’t just give up
My life’s under his command
What happened to the scholar
Who would speak for hours on end
Of a truth that can’t be silenced
And just blazes up again?
What happened to the firebrand
Making sparks behind the inn
Saying magic’s not a danger
And wanting power’s not a sin?
Old friend, I know you too well
You’re a rebel who can’t even put a price on what I sell
Old friend, you need me more than before
If you slink away and hide
You’d always wonder if you tried
Would one more battle be enough to win the war?
MADDOX
How dare you use its name
When you barely understand
Magic’s not some docile creature
Doing whatever you demand
Older than darkness, older than light
Stronger than secrets, stronger than might
Gnawing and thrashing, it needs to be free
A much older friend than you could ever be!
ROWAN
Between a king who’ll execute you
Or one who’ll just recruit you
Tell me, friend, which one you think is worse
He won’t believe that you’ve just vanished
So how long until you’re banished
Or your body’s taken home inside a hearse?
BOTH
Old friend
MADDOX
I’m not as stupid as I was
BOTH
Old friend
ROWAN
Just do it for the cause
BOTH
Old friend
MADDOX
You’re just here to get me caught
BOTH
Old friend
ROWAN
I’m the best chance that you’ve got
BOTH
Old friend
MADDOX
You’re a reckless hedonist
BOTH
Old friend
ROWAN
You still need an optimist
BOTH
Old friend
MADDOX
It’s a plan we won’t survive
BOTH
Old friend
ROWAN
You’d never get her out alive
MADDOX
Back then I’d die to show resistance
That was the point of my existence
I thought martyrdom was all that I deserved
But with my heart in Maya’s hand
This won’t be my final stand
I’ll save your life for hers to be preserved
BOTH
Old friend, I know you too well
You’re the last one I would want to keep me company in hell
Old friend, as always, this is war
So let’s join forces for bit
There’s a murder to commit
ROWAN
Old friend, I know you too well
You’re the last one I would want to keep me company in hell
Old friend, as always, this is war
So let’s join forces for bit
There’s a murder to commit
MADDOX
Back then I’d die to show resistance
That was the point of my existence
I thought martyrdom was all that I deserved
But with my heart in Maya’s hand
This won’t be my final stand
I’ll save your life for hers to be preserved
BOTH
Old friend, I know you too well
You’re the last one I would want to keep me company in hell
Old friend, as always, this is war
So let’s join forces for bit
There’s a murder to commit
If you don’t fuck it up, this time we’ll win for sure!
