A Cautionary Tale Lyrics by Barrett Wilbert Weed, Grey Henson

[Janis]
It's a cautionary tale of fear and lust and pride
Based on actual events where people died

[Damian, spoken]
No one died

[Damian, sung]
But how far would you go
To be popular and hot?
Would you resist temptation?

[Janis]
No, you would not!
Just admit it

[Both]
Sometimes mean is what you are
Mean is easier than nice
And though mean can take you far
Maybe this will make you think twice

[Damian, Spoken]
Kick! Layout! Fosse!

[Both]
This is a cautionary tale
About corruption and betrayal!

[Damian]
And getting hit by a bus!

[Janis]
You can't buy integrity at the mall, it's not for sale

[Damian, spoken]
Nice

[Janis, spoken]
Thank you

[Both]
This is a cautionary tale

[Ensemble]
OHHH. OHHH. AYYAYA. AYYAYA

[Damian, spoken]
Our story begins across the globe in Africa. Africa!
