On A Pedestal

There's no limit to the riches I want to see.

I met this man, he said he would do anything for me.

I was a little nervous, but I went there anyway.

I never guessed that he would smile at me and say:

Hello, I welcome you into my humble store.

I've got lots of merchandise, I've got everything and more.

Today we have a sale on welfare, an offer you can't ignore.

It will put you on a pedestal, separate you from the poor.

His ice-cold heart and smiling face in perfect symmetry.

His gratitude increased, as I bought my destiny.

His smiling mask fell off, I saw the horns upon his head.

I won't forget the moment when he laughed at me and said:

Hello, I welcome you...

I guess you'll say stupidity isn't easily measured,

But my degradation was unbearable.

Hello, I welcome you...
