Lyrics

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
FutureThe ghost said, "Take off both your shoesWhatever chances you getEspecially when they're wet"
He also said, "Imagine you go awayOn a business trip one dayAnd when you come back homeYour children have grownAnd you never made your wife moanYour children have grownAnd you never made your wife moan""And people make you nervousYou'd think the world is endingAnd everybody's featuresHave somehow started blending""And everything is plasticAnd everyone's sarcasticAnd all your food is frozenIt needs to be defrosted""You'd think the world was endingYou'd think the world was endingYou'd think the world was ending right now""You'd think the world was endingYou'd think the world was endingYou'd think the world was ending right now""Well maybe you shouldJust drink a lot less coffeeAnd never ever watch the ten o'clock newsMaybe you should kiss someone niceOr lick a rock, Or both""Maybe you should cut your own hair'Cause that can be so funnyIt doesn't cost any moneyAnd it always grows backHair grows even after you're dead""And people are just peopleThey shouldn't make you nervousThe world is everlastingIt's coming and it's going""If you don't toss your plasticThe streets won't be so plasticAnd if you kiss somebodyThen both of you'll get practice""The world is everlastingPut dirt balls in your pocketPut dirt balls in your pocketAnd take off both your shoes""'Cause people are just peoplePeople are just peoplePeople are just people like you""People are just peoplePeople are just peoplePeople 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
