Business and the Rational Mind

Lyrics

He knows his name, he's acquainted with his family tree Yet the things that he desires remain a bit unclear Walks down the street, sees his shadow in front of him Looks to the sky, animal shapes are playing there The office girls are looking at me sideways I can tell by their eyes they won't do it my way Is this a country club or an institute for finance? All these twitterings about their latest romance Sits at his desk, moves a paper here and there, then back again In the back of his mind, a seed begins to grow Looks around, sees the girls who are occupied with IBM He'll be a man of action for just one single day The office girls are looking at me sideways I can tell by their eyes they won't do it my way Is this a country club or an institute for finance? All these twitterings about their latest romance Begins to apologize, tell the boss that he's so very sorry Opens his mouth, but there are no words there He says, "You can keep your lousy job and I will never make it snappy" By way of explanation, shakes his hand begins to leave He knows his name, he's a walking piece of history Yet the things that he desires remain a bit obscure Walks down the street, all those people on the street Turn and look the other way Looks to the sky, animal shapes have passed him by Have passed him by
