	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' t teach a pair of shorts how to pants
