Run the Numbers Songtext
von Everything Everything

Some folks sleep with their heads on the railway track
Talk about a rat king, talk about slipping through the crack
The corridors of power are echoing with, "Something for everyone"
Nothing there for you, and there′s nothing there for me

Some fish swim when they don't know the water from the air
Talk about a dreadnought, talk about a multi-millionaire
You tell me it′ll never work and I can't have my cake and be eating it
Well, I don't want your cake, I never ate it anyway

I don′t need to run the numbers
I don′t care about your numbers
I don't read the numbers, numbers
I don′t need to run the numbers

'Cause I can feel, ′cause I can feel it
And I don't care
I′ll never care
'Cause I can feel, 'cause I can feel it
And I don′t care
I′ll never care about your numbers


Hear that, professor? Less of your lip
Give me what I asked for, I don't like the cut of your jib
Tell yourself it′s over soon and something's gonna drag you away from me
I was in the background, now I′m in your bed

I don't need to run the numbers
I don′t care about your numbers
I don't read the numbers, numbers
I don't need to run the numbers

′Cause I can feel, ′cause I can feel it
And I don't care
I′ll never care
'Cause I can feel, ′cause I can feel it
And I don't care
I′ll never care about your numbers

(And I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
(And I wait, and I wait)
(And I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
(And I wait, and I wait)

(And I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
(And I wait, and I wait, and I)
(And I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
(And I wait, and I wait)


I don't need to run the numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
I don't care about your numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and I)
I don′t read the numbers, numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
I don′t care about your numbers (and I wait, and I wait)

'Cause I can feel, ′cause I can feel it
And I don't care
I′ll never care
'Cause I can feel, ′cause I can feel it (and I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
And I don't care (and I wait, and I wait, and I)
I'll never care about your numbers (and I wait, and I wait)

I don′t need to run the numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
I don′t care about your numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and I)
I don't read the numbers, numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
I don′t need to run the numbers (and I wait, and I wait)

I don't need to run the numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
I don′t care about your numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and I)
I don't read the numbers, numbers (and I wait, and I wait, and it never comes)
I don′t need to run the numbers (and I wait, and I wait)
