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 dry but no good
when he gets to the crowded subway platfrom
and he takes off both of his shoes
he steps into someone's fat loogie
and everyone who see him says "eww"
everyone who seems him says "eww"
but he doesn't care because last night he got a visit
from the ghost of corporate future
the ghost said take off both shoes
whatever chances you get; expecially if they're wet
he also said

imagine if you go away
on a business trip oneday
and when you come back home
your children have grown
and you never made your wife moan
your children have grown
and you never made your wife moan
people make you nervous
you're thinking the world has ended
and everybody's featues
have somehow started blending
and everything is plastic
and everyon's sarcastic
and all the 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 ws 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 could be so funny
it doesn't cost any money
and it always grows back;;
hair grows even after you're dead
and 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 will be just clastic
and if you kiss somebody
then both of you get practice
the world is everlasting
the dirtballs in your pocket
the 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 everylasting
it's coming and it's going
it's coming and it's going
it's coming and it.s....
