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 
                             
                          

                                                            
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
