Take off your polished handmade Italian shoes
Yes, take them off, right here in the street
Peel off those thin black dress socks

Walk into the cheap barber shop
And tell the barber to shave your head
That full head of thick corporate hair

Now walk barefoot and bald in your $3000 pinstriped business suit
and your silk tie and cufflinks and starched white shirt

Walk barefoot though the financial district
Everyone will stare
Your colleagues and friends and competitors will laugh
As dust collects on your smooth clean white soles

Destroy your privilege
Cut ties
Burn your bridges

Barefoot bald and humiliated
You can start again
