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
Tryin’ 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 “ewwww”
Everyone who sees him says “ewwww”
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
And people make you nervous
You’d think the world was 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
Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee
And never ever watch the 10 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 pockets
Put dirtball’s in your pockets
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
