Skreaming Skeletons - Modern Hieroglyphics

Fixate on modern hieroglyphics
With a meaning so specific
That they'll never mean a single thing to me
And I know this is insufficient
For this world that we all live in
But I'd rather sit at home and twist my knees

When I was born
The doctors almost made me circle back
Because I had no brains for math
And when I was born
I couldn't tell a seven from a four
So I went out the back door and planted roots

One-two-three-four
Build me up or break me down
And I'll probably feel the same about it
'Cause I never fucking learned how to count
So say the words, and I'll spit 'em back
'Cause I never had much brains for math
Yeah I never fucking learned how to count

The concerning part is
That I'm perfectly content
To die just where I stand
(Maybe that should concern you)
And I'd love to fucking care about my life or where it ends
But if I never mattered, then why would it matter
'Cause I never fucking learned how to count

So we're sentenced to horrid lives
That we'll live out poor or turn to crime
And when we'll die, we'll die parallel nothings
But we don't wanna live our lives
Predicated on the fact we never learned our fives
But otherwise, we'd all die just like he did
(I mean good soldiers follow orders, am I right?)

I never fucking learned how to count
Yeah no, I never fucking learned how to count
And I never fucking learned how to count
Yeah we never fucking learned how to count

Those words are homonyms
But they might not be homonyms
'Cause if you never learned how to count
Then you'll never really matter anyway
