Turista

Give it a home
But barely a home
Keep food in a bowl
And don't let it
Don't let it roam
Put it to work
Make it stay poor
By taking its pay
At the company store

Give it a home
But barely a home
Keep food in a bowl
And don't let it roam
Put it to work
And make it stay poor
By taking its pay
At the company store
Make sure it thinks
That its friends are to blame
And everyone else's
Lives aren't the same
And after it reads
It's one book to read
And after it sings 
It's one song to sing 
It will putter about
Through this one day night
And no one will notice
It has vanished from sight
