Regina Spektor - Ghost Of Corporate Future lyrics

rate me

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 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 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
