The Ghost of Corporate Future |
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. |
