Welcome to Meeple. As you enter our esteemed facility, please enjoy a word from our CEO....Steve Cobs! The future is so yesterday When everything is run your way Your influence is everywhere Smell innovation on the air You tell me that I'm "too ambitious" Well I say: "I don't care!" Now let's take a look at the profit margin (The future is so yesterday) No, let's not, that's corporate jargon You all want what you understand (When everything is run your way) So what I supply is what you'll demand I'll never lose if you keep letting me win (Your influence is everywhere) But with the good that I do, is that such a sin? I created all that you believe (Too ambitious?) You gave me power you can't relieve! (I don't care) (Cobs, what does this all mean? What's your latest machine?) Am I going too fast? Is all this progress too loud? Did I leave you in the past? Let's take some Q's from the crowd (This may come off as a stupid question, but what exactly do you aim to achieve?) Well, there's no such thing as a stupid question So it's wise of me if I ask you to leave (This new product, the "Me" technology Is that not groundbreaking, world-shaking mythology?) Well, that all depends on your own ideology But if I've caused suspicion, hey! Take my apology (Cobs, you're always being coy! Is there a bigger plan? Is this just a decoy?) No doy! I mean you always think I've something to hide And this is no different, you've implied (So Cobs, is your whole persona intended to keep those suspicions extended?) (So all your schemes become blended? And your work cannot be contended?) Um, No questions! The future is so yesterday (The future is so yesterday) When everything is run your way (When everything is run, run, run, run, run your way) Your influence is everywhere (Oh, oh) Smell innovation on the air You tell me that I'm "too ambitious" Well, I (I) Don't (don't) Care! (Care!)
Any moment now... (Are you sure this is what you want?) [scoffs] Oh, spare me your spin, you tablet tabloid If you want to psychoanalyze someone, don’t look at me! Look at them! It’s so pathetic - How they run to fetch their sticks Sure, call me polemic, Unsympathetic, at least I know other tricks! Look at me and all you’ll see is the debris of some defective outcast! A frenetic, antithetic (if poetic) little iconoclast But I won’t live in the past! I almost won this game once, you know But! History is rearranged just to credit those who win the glory So rеality is changed in the edit whеn they spin the story! And we choose to feel this pain And we lose more than we gain! But I will break this cycle of mistakes, unlike all Of these snakes whom I call to condemn! If I can’t win the prize, I’ll play this last reprisal Just to bring their lies all to an end! (Ack! - You need regeneration.) Unfortunately, I don’t have much faith in that process (Of course not.) Why "of course not?" (You believe yourself to be incapable of starting over In more ways than one.) (I do not know who you lost, but is it not possible to get them back?) “Clear the slate, start again,” Are you hearing how preposterous that sounds? How do you not comprehend that for someone with my monstrous background!? The whole slate has fallen apart (Taco, that is not true) (There are other ways to-) It’s too late (It’s not too late!) For me to restart! But it’s not I, it’s they (Let us talk about it when your-) Who deign to play this game (Head is not so clouded) So cruel and inhumane (Your no menace, Taco) Base and uncouth (How did they hurt you?) (Please think this through!) I think they’re too afraid to (Feeling double-crossed is part of) Bear the bed they’ve made (Dealing with a loss, yes, but) Can’t bring themselves to face the awful truth! (Healing is a process, that’s the truth) So I’m turning up the heat to “sauté” I’ve a beef to get grilled But I fully guarantee that today All the beans that get spilled Won’t be mine, No I’m fine! Shhh… Now it’s time!
