Numbers Game
NUMBERS GAME
W/M: Bob Bennett
Clean white paper
And ink black as night
Facts for dissection in fluorescent light
Ivy League man and his American brain
Puts it all down on paper
But he feels no pain
(But) the numbers have faces
And the faces have names
Living out and dying out
This numbers game
Numbers Game
Cold hard statistics
To be buried in the news
About governments that slaughter
All opposing views
Moral retardation
And a cultural lobotomy
In the age of information
We still cannot see
(That) ...
Somewhere a committee
Quietly convenes
To victimize the poor
To build their war machines
No aching in the conscience
Just a stiffness in the joints
They tell themselves
They're dealing with
percentage points
