Come from upstairs Your supper's waiting The guests have arrived To know your plans No time for a bath You mustn't be tardy The mayor has arrived To know your plans The wine is uncorked The pheasants steaming The candles are lit And the chairs are full You know that they're craving Controversy Give it to them sir And send them home Come here to me now Your tie is crooked Your shirt theres a stain Wear this instead Walk down from the stairs Your chin held upward No doubt there's a conflict For you to mend The guests were all squawking Of weather happenings Of current events And battles won The door it flung open A chill of silence Swept over each guest One by one How do you do sir How do you do sir They all took their seats And then sipped their wine Like fools their impatient Agendas bubbling up Shouts from table From all sides All of these questions For the master Designed to incite An emotional response And then the debate He folded is napkin And watched As the guests Lost control of their plot The master ate pheasant The master ate silently Pleased the demands Weren't much tonight He sat there in perfect Contemplation And he smiled When the mayor rose up And decried Down with the leadership Down with the hierarchy Down with men Who control our fate Down with democracy Down with aristocracy Up with a brand new Approach to a state The mayor he fell back His heart had failed him His wife she then shrieked And threw her glass The wine it had stained Our velvet curtains Twas then that I saw My master laugh You monster You coward You traitor You thief They all screamed at once And started to leave The master then stood Folded his napkin Walked back up the stairs And got ready for sleep Wasn't that fascinating He said Master took off his tie And got into his bed I stood there in shock Wondering when That crowd full of cowards Would beg for his council again
