Rainmakers - Too Many Twenties слова песни
(B. Walkenhorst)There`s too many twenties, too many fivesToo many numbers in front of our eyesToo many statistics that nobody readsNumbers don`t lie but numbers don`t bleedWho`s counting when it way past plentyThere`s too many twentiesThere`s too much hush money being passed in the jointToo many bodies hidden behind the decimal pointA number`s got a name, a name`s got a faceAnd a face should have a future and a place that`s safeBut the chances of that are between slim and skinnyThere`s too many twentiesEvery second sister`s got a fighting chanceOf getting hurt at home by a lover`s show of handsAnd every fourth daughter`s gonna cover up and cryWhen she comes home from school saying "Mama, Papa, why?"What are you gonna tell them, just to smile and look pretty and take it? Huh?All you fathers looking in your little daughter`s eyesKnow that your worst nightmare finds one out of fiveDon`t worry about cancer, aids, or nothing elseJust worry about the fact there`s a man in the houseTill death do us part, man, it do part plentyThere`s too many twentiesTick tock tick tock tick tockTick tock tick tock tick tock tenSomewhere another woman just took it on the chinTick tock tick talk is toughYour sister just had her dignity snuffedEvery second counts, minutes equal manyThere`s too many twentiesSound and information are reduced to bitesAnd the voice of opposition to a stereotypeThe numbers are numbing, they`re hard to believeThey`re blurred by the blood on the balance sheetStack the bodies in neat little piles of tenAnd hit meThere`s too many twenties
