Regina Spektor- The ghost of Coorporate Future

song by Regina Spektor. just the music, not a video.

lyrics::

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 dry and to try 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 "ewww"
everyone who sees him says "ewww"

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 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
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 street 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

Seriously... you spelled it wrong. I can't share this video now because I'll look like a dumbass.

[52kilgoretrout]

lol at people who either think they're cool for finding a song from some other show/movie/commercial/etc. or think they're cooler for knowing it on their own.

I'm obviously cooler for pointing out this fact..

Or we could just listen to what we like, from whatever source we found it.

This song is perfect, lets just love it.

I thought the world was ending. But people are just people and perhaps she's right, and the world is everlasting.

This made my day so much brighter... :')

[SirEricofAwesome]

I've had the worse day and this just cheered me up ;)

@52kilgoretrout Except Regina. She's from outer space and has come to Earth to improve our mundane existence by teaching us earthlings a thing about life through her enchanting music.

[52kilgoretrout]

People are just people, they shouldn't make you nervous.

People are just people like you.

[BlackSabotage100]

This song is rad brah!!! \m/

@UncleRed1234567 I left one thing out, She's not even illustrating a literal point. Almost all of this song is figurative, except for maybe the business man, though I doubt it's a business man in all cases.

[HeartlessxLie]

@UncleRed1234567 Except... Regina Spektor rarely ever writes music in a literal way, so why should it matter if she uses a wive's tale to illustrate a point? Your argument is invalid.

[HeartlessxLie]

It was the same episode where she sings little boxes for the title! Not gonna lie. I almost shat upon discovering this.

[MutantHaydon]

I love weeds, but I didn't even know this song was in it, I just like her.....
