Don't Uncork What You Can't Contain

Lyrics

A man finds a bottle on the bottom shelf
 Forgotten and covered in dust
 The label is already half worn off
 Still, open it up he must.
 As the corkscrew into the cork it goes
 He hears the weird refrain,
 "Do you what you like, but never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain
 Do what you like but never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain."
 ♪
 Pandora had a pretty little box,
 Wisely she kept it hid
 Until one day she couldn't resist
 Playing around with the lid
 As the demons flew and the shadows grew
 This song went around her brain:
 "You can do what you like but never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain,
 You can do what you like but never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain."
 As the demons flew and the shadows grew
 This song went around her brain:
 "You can do what you like but never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain."
 ♪
 Macklemore went to the thrift shop
 Looking to pop some tags
 Found an ancient oil lamp
 Hidden among the rags
 So he picked it up and he rubbed it down
 Thought he'd gone insane
 Cause a genie flew out, singing "Never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain"
 Genie flew out, singing "Never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain"
 He picked it up and he rubbed it down
 Thought he'd gone insane
 Cause the genie flew out singing "Never uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain."
 But sometimes though you have to
 Let out what you're keeping inside
 If you keep it all in, your head will spin
 And your mouth is all tongue tied
 You've got to find the way to say what you say
 And get it down on the page
 Or the stage
 It's the cage for that tiger rage that you can't contain
 Yes the page and the stage is the cage for that tiger rage
 That you can't contain, for real
 The page and the stage is the cage
 For that tiger rage, what it is that you feel
 So, do what you like but you better uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain
 Do what you like but you better uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain
 Cause the page and the stage is the cage
 For that tiger rage that'll cause you pain
 Do what you like but you better uncork
 Uncork what you can't contain.
