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 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 "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 dirtballs 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.
