Wool - by Erik Smith
Good
evening
Get in line
What's going on?
Just stand in line and wait
I'll make it worth your while
Converse with the sheep, eer, patrons
I'll be back in a minute for you
I have some business to attend to
Into my booth behind the curtain I go
To watch the line build and build
To plan the mass reprogramming of minds
To fuck the devoted ones all the more
To prove again that I am just another whore
I re-emerge with a fake smile
Shake the hands of the waiting crowd
Make small talk with the ones I might spare
Pretend to all that I actually care
Promise them all that I will always be there
Hello everybody
I announce from the podium
It's almost time to behold the greatest thing you will ever experience
Then I disappear again
Letting them all stand and wait
For when I'm ready to take them in
