On a Pedestal - Adhesive

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…
