The Future Is So Yesterday

[MEEPLE ANNOUNCER]
Welcome to Meeple. As you enter our esteemed facility, please enjoy a word from our CEO....Steve Cobs!

[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!"

[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 MEMBER #1, #2, STEVE COBS ]
(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

[AUDIENCE MEMBER #2, STEVE COBS]
(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

[AUDIENCE MEMBER #1, STEVE COBS]
(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

[AUDIENCE MEMBER #2, #3, STEVE COBS]
(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

[AUDIENCE, STEVE COBS]
(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!

[AUDIENCE, (STEVE 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, (AUDIENCE)]
Your influence is everywhere (Oh, oh)
Smell innovation on the air
You tell me that I'm "too ambitious"

[STEVE COBS, (AUDIENCE)]
Well, I (I)
Don't (don't)
Care! (Care!)

The future is so yesterday!
