Late Night Pizza - Numbers

Did you run the numbers... did you take the time to calculate
Check your over/under... your figures got me coming in too late
You may have taken it as far as you... care to invest
Oh, come on now... get it off your chest

You don't want to go there.... I can see it in your eyes
You wish I'd learn enough's enough
Another tough break should come as no surprise
Don't take it personal, don't get me wrong
I like your style... I like your song
But you're a risk I cannot take
The numbers say you'd be a big statistical mistake

But no... don't you let them pull you down
Pick yourself up off the ground... shake the dust and look around
Yeah... lift your head back up and view
The billboard that's in front of you... the dream that keeps on calling you... again

It's a big surprise; covered with fries, eat it up with all the lies they try to feed to you
Come on, take another path, all you gotta do is do the math
All the experts say they got you figured out, well they say they do
It's true... numbers don't lie, you're in short supply, now their story's changed
They want to re-explain
I always believed in you... so glad... you've come through
Sign right here, and we'll own eighty percent of you... but

No... don't you let them pull you down
Pick yourself up off the ground... shake the dust and look around
Yeah... lift your head back up and view
The billboard that's in front of you... the same old dream that calling you... again

I remember a time when... it was about the art
It was a simpler time then... concerning matters of the heart
Now it's all about the numbers
It always comes down to the numbers... doesn't it

Did you run the numbers... can you place a number on this soul
Just remember... square pegs won't fit into round holes
You can whip another achem's razor cross my back
But without a doubt all the rocks cry out
As I shout the only number that will matter til my dying day, so

No... don't you let them pull you down
Pick yourself up off the ground... shake the dust and look around
Yeah... lift your head back up and view
The billboard that's in front of you... the same old dream that calling you... again

How many views, how many hits... tell me
What is the number... that makes me worthy of your time
Two is the number
