 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 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, 
Your children have grown 
And you 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' 
'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 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
