Ghost of Corporate Future
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 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
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
El Fantasma del Futuro Corporativo
Un hombre sale de su apartamento,
Está lloviendo, no tiene paraguas
Comienza a correr bajo los toldos,
Tratando de salvar su traje,
Tratando de salvar su traje.
Tratando de secar, y secar, y secar pero no sirve
Cuando llega a la abarrotada plataforma del metro,
Se quita ambos zapatos
Pisa directamente un escupitajo gordo de alguien
Y todos los que lo ven dicen, 'Puaj.'
Todos los que lo ven dicen, 'Puaj.'
Pero a él no le importa,
Porque anoche recibió la visita del
Fantasma del Futuro Corporativo
El fantasma dijo, 'Quítate ambos zapatos
Cada vez que puedas
Especialmente cuando estén mojados.'
También dijo,
'Imagina que te vas
En un viaje de negocios un día
Y cuando regresas a casa,
Tus hijos han crecido
Y nunca hiciste gemir a tu esposa,
Tus hijos han crecido
Y nunca hiciste gemir a tu esposa.'
'Y la gente te pone nervioso
Piensas que el mundo se está acabando,
Y las características de todos se han empezado a mezclar de alguna manera
Y todo es plástico,
Y todos son sarcásticos,
Y toda tu comida está congelada,
Necesita descongelarse.'
'Piensas que el mundo se está acabando,
Piensas que el mundo se está acabando,
Piensas que el mundo se está acabando ahora.
Piensas que el mundo se está acabando,
Piensas que el mundo se está acabando,
Piensas que el mundo se está acabando ahora.'
'Bueno, tal vez deberías beber mucho menos café,
Y nunca ver las noticias de las diez,
Quizás deberías besar a alguien agradable,
O lamer una roca,
O ambas cosas.'
'Tal vez deberías cortarte el cabello tú mismo
Porque eso puede ser muy divertido
No cuesta dinero alguno
Y siempre vuelve a crecer
El cabello crece incluso después de muerto.'
'Y la gente es solo gente,
No deberían ponerte nervioso.
El mundo es eterno,
Está llegando y se está yendo.
Si no tiras tu plástico,
Las calles no serán tan plásticas.
Y si besas a alguien,
Entonces ambos practicarán.'
'El mundo es eterno
Pon bolas de tierra en tu bolsillo,
Pon bolas de tierra en tu bolsillo,
Y quítate ambos zapatos.
Porque la gente es solo gente,
La gente es solo gente,
La gente es solo gente como tú.
La gente es solo gente,
La gente es solo gente,
La gente es solo gente como tú.'
El mundo es eterno
Está llegando y se está yendo
El mundo es eterno
Está llegando y se está yendo
Está llegando y se está yendo
