[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!
