Welcome to Meeple. As you enter our esteemed facility
please enjoy a word from our CEOSteve 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!
The future is so yesterday
