There’s a thunder cloud behind those eyes, | |
A storm’s a-brewin’ in your mind’s thoughts. | |
A static-electrical discharge will emulate for your swollen heart. | |
Well the doctor prescribes | |
Rubber soles. | |
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 see you turn infinite | |
Still you’re 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. | |
[CHORUS] | |
(Well) | |
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes | |
It’s all about the words you choose | |
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes | |
If it’s all about the friends you lose | |
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes | |
So why would, why would you? | |
[SPOKEN] | |
I can see where they may be some confusion | |
I was just once just like you | |
Let me tell you a story to clarify the matter | |
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 really hard. | |
Those shoes sparkle gold and blue, | |
They seem brand new | |
Must’ve set you back a few. | |
Oh, my fancy shoes— | |
It shocked me, | |
I’m in the path of a bus in the middle of a busy street!’ | |
You can fix a robot | |
Buff out the dents | |
Strap ‘em into a pair of fancy shoes | |
And flip the switch to ‘commence.’ | |
But when all said and done, | |
Are the shoes built for fun? | |
Or to protect from broken glass | |
Or toe-biters in tall grass? | |
When everyone’s in red | |
You wear | |
Blue. | |
It’s just like you to ignore simple truths. | |
[CHORUS] | |
(Well) | |
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes | |
It’s all about the words you choose | |
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes | |
If it’s all about the friends you lose. | |
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes | |
It’s all about the toes you lose. | |
It doesn’t matter those fancy shoes | |
So why would, why would you? |
There' s a thunder cloud behind those eyes, | |
A storm' s abrewin' in your mind' s thoughts. | |
A staticelectrical discharge will emulate for your swollen heart. | |
Well the doctor prescribes | |
Rubber soles. | |
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 see you turn infinite | |
Still you' re only human. | |
It' s a suitandtie affair | |
And you' re only wearing shoes. | |
Although they' re pretty slick | |
No one will let you through. | |
CHORUS | |
Well | |
It doesn' t matter those fancy shoes | |
It' s all about the words you choose | |
It doesn' t matter those fancy shoes | |
If it' s all about the friends you lose | |
It doesn' t matter those fancy shoes | |
So why would, why would you? | |
SPOKEN | |
