Numbers Game Songtext
von R.D. Thomas

I′ll come good, so they say
If that's what God intended me
But I don′t buy into faith
Can't afford celebrity

Belly full, usually
Don't need more prosperity
And I′ve got jokes that I can trade
To get me out the numbers game

Mmm-mm
Mmm-mm

Some fall short, some will stay
Some have lost so bitterly
Those that watch, we call insane
That they never learned to play


So fly on high, tug your chain
I guess that′s the numbers game
Are we stuck, and who's to blame?
If we lose numbers game?

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Mmm-mm

I tried hard, and I can say
Just one thing truthfully
That I know how the rules are made
And it don′t add up to me

So hold it up, wriggle free
There's no such thing as victory
And hell, I′m a real bad loser, me
But there's no numbers playing me

Mmm-mm
