A man walks out of his apartment,
|
It is raining, he's got no umbrella
|
He starts running beneath the awnings,
|
Trying to save his suit,
|
Trying to save his suit.
|
Trying to dry, and to dry, and to dry but no good
|
|
When he gets to the crowded subway platform,
|
He takes off both of his shoes
|
He steps right into somebody's fat loogie
|
And everyone who sees him says, "Ew."
|
Everyone who sees him says, "Ew."
|
|
But he doesn't care,
|
'Cause last night he got a visit from the
|
Ghost of Corporate Future
|
The ghost said, "Take off both your shoes
|
Whatever chances you get
|
Especially when they're wet."
|
|
He also said,
|
"Imagine you go away
|
On a business trip one day
|
And when you come back home,
|
Your children have grown
|
And you never made your wife moan,
|
Your children have grown
|
And you never made your wife moan."
|
|
"And people make you nervous
|
You'd think the world is ending,
|
And everybody's features have somehow started blending
|
And everything is plastic,
|
And everyone's sarcastic,
|
And all your food is frozen,
|
It needs to be defrosted."
|
|
"You'd think the world was ending,
|
You'd think the world was ending,
|
You'd think the world was ending right now.
|
You'd think the world was ending,
|
You'd think the world was ending,
|
You'd think the world was ending right now."
|
|
"Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee,
|
And never ever watch the ten o'clock news,
|
Maybe you should kiss someone nice,
|
Or lick a rock,
|
Or both."
|
|
"Maybe you should cut your own hair
|
'Cause that can be so funny
|
It doesn't cost any money
|
And it always grows back
|
Hair grows even after you're dead"
|
|
"And people are just people,
|
They shouldn't make you nervous.
|
The world is everlasting,
|
It's coming and it's going.
|
If you don't toss your plastic,
|
The streets won't be so plastic.
|
And if you kiss somebody,
|
Then both of you'll get practice."
|
|
"The world is everlasting
|
Put dirtballs in your pocket,
|
Put dirtballs in your pocket,
|
And take off both your shoes.
|
'Cause people are just people,
|
People are just people,
|
People are just people like you.
|
People are just people,
|
People are just people,
|
People are just people like you."
|
|
The world is everlasting
|
It's coming and it's going
|
The world is everlasting
|
It's coming and it's going
|
It's coming and it's going
|
