[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!
[MEEPLE ANNOUNCER]
This section introduces the setting of the song, with the Meeple Announcer welcoming the audience to the Meeple facility and introducing Steve Cobs, the CEO. It sets the stage for the corporate-themed satire that follows.
[STEVE COBS]
Here, Steve Cobs declares that the future is already in the past when everything is under his control. He exudes confidence and dismisses any criticism of his ambition. The lyrics reflect his belief that his influence is so pervasive that innovation and progress are simply extensions of his will.
[STEVE COBS, (AUDIENCE)]
In this part, Cobs engages with the audience, downplaying the importance of profit margins and emphasizing that he provides what people want. His rhetoric suggests that consumer demand is shaped by what he chooses to supply, reinforcing his control over both innovation and the market.
[AUDIENCE MEMBER #1, #2, STEVE COBS]
This section depicts a dialogue between Steve Cobs and the audience members, where they express confusion and skepticism about his rapid technological advancements. Cobs’ responses are dismissive, reflecting his lack of concern for the ethical implications of his innovations and his indifference to the audience's understanding.
[AUDIENCE MEMBER #2, STEVE COBS]
In this segment, an audience member asks a seemingly innocent question, to which Cobs sarcastically responds by implying that there are no stupid questions but still dismisses the questioner. This interaction further highlights Cobs' arrogance and his tendency to belittle those who question him.
[AUDIENCE MEMBER #1, STEVE COBS]
Here, the audience questions the significance of Cobs' latest technological product, the "Me" technology. Cobs' response is evasive, suggesting that the impact of his innovations is subjective and depends on individual beliefs, while subtly deflecting any potential criticism.
[AUDIENCE MEMBER #2, #3, STEVE COBS]
In this section, the audience presses Cobs on whether his persona is designed to keep people in the dark about his true intentions. Cobs' answers remain ambiguous, fueling further suspicion about his real goals and reinforcing the idea that he is hiding something important.
[AUDIENCE, (STEVE COBS)]
