The Sims

A virtual world at my fingertips,

A future that's mine to create

I make the people-

I make their houses

I make their personalities

I make their lives,

I make their futures.

Helplessly they stand

On the screen,

And sleep when I tell them

And walk when I tell them

And work when I tell them

And talk when I tell them.

If they try to resist,

Their attempt is suppressed;

One click of the mouse

And they're back where I want them.

I hurry them to the carpool,

I urge them to work out

And they comply obediently,

Bending to my wishes,

Obeying my every word,

Heeding my every direction.

What else can they do?

What other course can they take?

Their selves obey the mouse,

And the mouse lies in my hand.
