And the men who write the screenplays
Must give some careful thought.
When adapting from the novel -
Stay closer to the plot.
The director and matte artist
Make it something that it's not.
Please don't make another Dune
Stay closer to the plot.
The extras and the big stars
Must say to Ridley Scott -
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Is closer to the plot.
You can be producer
But I will call the shots.
So what ends up at the cineplex
Is closer to the plot.
