| 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.
|
| Tryin to dryin to tryin 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, «ewww»
|
| And everyone who sees him says, «ewww»
|
| 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 if they’re wet.»
|
| He also said,
|
| «Image you go away on a business trip one day
|
| And when you come back home,
|
| Your children have grown
|
| And you’ve never made your wife moan,
|
| Your children have grown
|
| And you’ve 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»
|
| «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. |
