Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All ran to the university,

And they were put in boxes,
And they came out all the same
There's a doctor and a lawyer
And a business executive,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

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, Eww
Everyone who sees
him says, Eww
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

I've been searchin' all over for someone
I can tell my troubles to
Searchin' all the wide world over
Is it you, is it you

Are you the kind of man that marries
then gets his mind on somethin' new
You gotta let me know I'm all alone
Is it you, is it you
Is it you baby
Is it you

I confide in you
you seem to understand my point of view
I'm old inside
and you can't understand why, can't understand why

I confide in you
you seem to understand my point of view
I'm old inside
and you can't understand why, can't understand why

I've been searchin' all over for someone
I can tell my troubles to
Searchin' all the wide world over
Is it you, Is it you
Is it you baby
Is it?
