Lyrics[]
Greeter (spoken):
Welcome to Meeple!
As you enter our esteemed facility,
please enjoy a word from our C.E.O.,
Steve Cobs!
Steve Cobs (sung):
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!
Steve Cobs & Audience:
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!)
Audience:
Cobs, what does this all mean?
What's your latest machine?
Steve Cobs:
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...
Audience Member 1:
This may come off as a stupid question,
But what exactly do you aim to achieve?
Steve Cobs:
Well, there's no such thing as a stupid question,
So it's wise of me if I ask you to leave.
Audience Member 2:
This new product, the "Me" technology,
Is that not groundbreaking, world-shaking mythology?
Steve Cobs:
Well, that all depends on your own ideology,
But if I've caused suspicion, hey! Take my apology.
Audience Member 3:
Cobs, you're always being coy!
Audience Member 4:
Is there a bigger plan, is this just a decoy?
Steve Cobs:
No doy! I mean, you always think I've something to hide,
And this is no different, you've implied!
Audience:
So Cobs, is your whole persona intended,
To keep those suspicions extended?
So all of your schemes become blended,
And your work cannot be contended?
Steve Cobs:
Uhm, no questions!
Audience & Cobs:
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!)
Steve Cobs:
Your influence is everywhere,
Smell innovation on the air,
You tell me that I'm too ambitious?
Well,
Cobs & Audience:
I!
(I!)
DON'T!
(Don't!)
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRE!
Steve Cobs:
THE FUTURE IS SO YESTERDAY!
