Back Room Invitation

Description

I know that you have questions,
The good ones always do.
Answers are forthcoming
For those who've got a clue.

Many souls would self destruct
If we just set them free.
The world you've known's created
By designers just like me.

Come into the back room,
Step behind the scenes.
Appearance hides another side
And you are stuck between.

It takes a lot of patience
'Cause the bulk of them are crude.
They're hardly ever grateful
Although we provide their food.

Choice is what we give away
Along with curly fries.
The work it takes to learn the truth
Makes people ask for lies.

Come into the back room.
Will you be one of us?
It isn't really all that hard
Once you've gained their trust.

A big TV and cushy chair
Remove the need for maps.
The glitter home's a tinsel dome
With soma from the taps.

We let them post opinions
Since there's little that they know.
They seem to think that babble proves
They help to run the show.

Come into the back room,
Step behind the scenes.
Appearance hides another side
And you are stuck between.

Power left unexercised
Inevitably corrodes.
That's why we run the city
Nation state and soon the globe.

We've had our eyes on you for years,
Your sort is very rare.
So now its time to spread your wings
And join us in the air.

This land of strings
From drunken kings
That make the council dance,
Can't bring its height
Diminished sight
In focus on the ants.
When ruling laws
Have metal claws
Without a moral base,
The common folk
Once they've been broke
Will fit inside a case.

Come into the back room.
Will you be one of us?
It isn't really all that hard
Once you've gained their trust.

We've got deep convictions stacked
Around our sense of worth.
That's how we face the daunting task
Of governing the Earth.

That beast behind the curtain
Shouldn't cause the least concern.
Its motives are quite noble
As I'm sure you'll come to learn.

Come into the back room,
Step behind the scenes.
Appearance hides another side
And you are stuck between.
Come into the back room.
Will you be one of us?
It isn't really all that hard
Once you've gained their trust.
