Lyrics

[00:14.10] A man walks out of his apartment
[00:16.22]
[00:16.97] It is raining he's got no umbrella
[00:19.85] He starts running beneath the awnings
[00:22.48] Trying to save his suit
[00:23.85]
[00:25.22] Trying to save his suit
[00:26.97]
[00:28.04] Trying to dry and to dry and to dry but no good
[00:31.28]
[00:33.97] When he gets to the crowded subway platform
[00:36.49] He takes off both of his shoes
[00:38.49]
[00:39.30] He steps right into somebody's fat loogie
[00:42.49] And everyone who sees him says Ew
[00:44.55]
[00:45.11] Everyone who sees him says Ew
[00:47.67] But he doesn't care
[00:49.17] 'Cause last night he got a visit from the
[00:51.42] Ghost of Corporate Future
[00:53.67] The ghost said Take off both your shoes
[00:56.11] Whatever chances you get
[00:57.36] Especially when they're wet
[00:58.55] He also said
[00:59.92] Imagine you go away
[01:01.99] On a business trip one day
[01:04.24]
[01:05.24] And when you come back home
[01:07.42]
[01:08.30] Your children have grown
[01:09.55] And you never made your wife moan
[01:11.30] Your children have grown
[01:12.30] And you never made your wife moan
[01:14.17] And people make you nervous
[01:15.49] You'd think the world is ending
[01:16.93] And everybody's features have somehow started blending
[01:19.11] And everything is plastic
[01:20.24] And everyone's sarcastic
[01:21.36] And all your food is frozen
[01:23.93] It needs to be defrosted
[01:25.11] You'd think the world was ending
[01:26.36] You'd think the world was ending
[01:27.74] You'd think the world was ending right now
[01:29.80]
[01:30.42] You'd think the world was ending
[01:31.80] You'd think the world was ending
[01:32.99] You'd think the world was ending right now
[01:36.55]
[01:37.49] Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee
[01:40.05] And never ever watch the ten o'clock news
[01:41.74] Maybe you should kiss someone nice
[01:45.36] Or lick a rock
[01:46.92] Or both
[01:47.80]
[01:48.69] Maybe you should cut your own hair
[01:51.06] 'Cause that can be so funny
[01:52.81]
[01:53.77] It doesn't cost any money
[01:56.20] And it always grows back
[01:57.70] Hair grows even after you're dead
[01:59.45]
[02:00.83] And people are just people
[02:02.08] They shouldn't make you nervous
[02:03.27] The world is everlasting
[02:04.52] It's coming and it's going
[02:05.96] If you don't toss your plastic
[02:07.27] The streets won't be so plastic
[02:08.52] And if you kiss somebody
[02:09.83] Then both of you'll get practice
[02:11.58] The world is everlasting
[02:12.96] Put dirtballs in your pocket
[02:14.04] Put dirtballs in your pocket
[02:15.54] And take off both your shoes
[02:17.16] 'Cause people are just people
[02:18.35] People are just people
[02:19.16] People are just people like you
[02:23.16] People are just people
[02:24.29] People are just people
[02:25.29] People are just people like you
[02:31.54]
[02:37.47] The world is everlasting
[02:39.72]
[02:40.29] It's coming and it's going
[02:43.87]
[02:44.55] The world is everlasting
[02:48.99]
[02:49.74] It's coming and it's going
[02:53.11]
[02:55.36] It's coming and it's going
