There’s a thundercloud behind those eyes
A storms a’brewin, in your mind-thoughts
A static electric discharge will emanate
from your swollen heart
Well, the doctor prescribes
Rubber souls–Rabbit keytar solo–
You can teach a robot, how to dance
You can’t teach a pair of shorts, how to pants
Stand between two mirrors, and look into
the distance
You’ll see you times infinite, still you’r
e only human
It’s a suit and tie affair and you’re only
wearing shoes
Although they’re pretty slick, no one will
let you through
Well, it doesn’t matter those fancy shoes,
it’s all about the words you choose
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes, it’s
all about the friends you’ll lose
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes, so wh
y would, why would you?
I can see where there may be some confusio
n, I was once just like you
Let me tell you a story to clarify the mat
ter, once upon a time a mouse put on some
shoes
Hey friend, where’d you get those fancy shoes,
Are you wearing them, or are they wearing you
I’ve seen you walking down the boulevard,
You must’ve come pretty far, you make it look real hard
Those shoes, sparkle gold and blue, alwaysEm
seem brand new,
Must’ve set you back a few
Oh my, fancy shoes distract me, I’m in theEm
path of a bus in the
Middle of a busy street
–Bus crash noises+Robot stuff–
You can fix a robot, buff out the dents
Strap him into a pair of fancy shoes and,
flip the switch to commence
But when all’s said and done, are the shoe
s built for fun?
Or to protect from broken glass or toe bit
ers in tall grass?
When everyones in red, you wear blue
It’s just like you to ignore simple truths
Well, it doesn’t matter those fancy shoes,
it’s all about the words you choose
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes, it’s
all about the friends you’ll lose
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes, it’s
all about the toes you’ll lose
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes, so wh
y would, why would you?
