Ghost Of Corporate Future

Ghost Of Corporate Future -Regina Spektor
A man walks out of his apartment
It is raining hes 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 somebodys fat loogie
And everyone who sees him says Ew
Everyone who sees him says Ew
But he doesnt 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 theyre 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
Youd think the world is ending
And everybodys features have somehow started blending
And everything is plastic
And everyones sarcastic
And all your food is frozen
It needs to be defrosted
Youd think the world was ending
Youd think the world was ending
Youd think the world was ending right now
Youd think the world was ending
Youd think the world was ending
Youd think the world was ending right now
Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee
And never ever watch the ten oclock 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 doesnt cost any money
And it always grows back
Hair grows even after youre dead
And people are just people
They shouldnt make you nervous
The world is everlasting
Its coming and its going
If you dont toss your plastic
The streets wont be so plastic
And if you kiss somebody
Then both of youll get practice
The world is everlasting
Put dirtballs in your pocket
Put dirtballs 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
Its coming and its going
The world is everlasting
Its coming and its going
Its coming and its going
