Ghost of Corporate Future - Live in California 2006
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, trying to, trying to try
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"
And everyone who sees him "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
People make you nervous
You 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 and has to be defrosted
You'd think the world is ending
You'd think the world is ending
You'd the world is ending right now
You'd think the world is ending
You'd think the world is ending
You'd the world is 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.
And 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 should'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 will get practice!
The world is everlasting!
The dirtball's in your pocket!
The dirtball's in your pocket and take off both your shoes!
'Cause people are just people
People are just people
People are just people like you
'Cause people are just people
People are just people
People are just people like you
The world is everlasting
It's coming
And it's go-o-o-o-oing
The world is e-ver-lasting
It's coming
And it's going
It's coming
And it's go-ing
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, trying to, trying to try
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"
And everyone who sees him "ew"
But he doesn't care
'Cause last night he got a visit from the ghost of corporate future

And it's going
It's coming
And it's go-ing
