The Ghost Of Corporate Future Songtext / Lyric

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 dirt balls in your pocket

Put dirt balls 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
