the ghost of corporate future:regina spektor

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 grownand you never made your wife moan
And people make you nervous
You'd think the world was ending and everybody's featureshave somehow started blending and everything is plastic and everyone's sarcastic and all your food is frozenit needs to be defrosted
You'd think the world was endingyou'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...
its 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 dirtball's 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
