Well, there's too many twenties, too many fives
Too many numbers in front of our eyes
Too many statistics that nobody reads
Numbers don't lie, but numbers don't bleed
Who's counting when it's way past plenty?
There's too many twenties
ย
There's too much of money being passed in the joint
Too many bodies hitting in the decimal point
A number's got a name, a name's got a face
An aphasia that'll fuse you in a blaze that's safe
What chance is a fat in between slim and skinny?
There's too many twenties
ย
Every second sister's got a fighting chance
Of getting herded home by a lover's show of hands
Every fourth daughter's gonna cover up and cry
When she comes home from school saying, "Mama, Papa, why?"
What are you gonna tell 'em? Just to smile and grin and take it?
All you fathers looking in your little daughter's eyes
Know that your worst nightmare finds one out of five
Don't worry about cancer, AIDS, or nothing else
Just worry about the fact there's a man in the house
Till death do us part, many too far plenty
There's too many twenties
ย
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, ten
Somewhere another woman just took it on the chin
Tick tock, tick tock, kiss tough
Your sister just had her dignity snuffed
Every second counts, minutes equal many
There's too many twenties
Sound and information are reduced to bytes
And the voice of opposition to a stereotype
The numbers are numbing, they're hard to believe
They're blurred by the blood on the balance sheet
Stack the bodies in neat little piles of ten and pity
There's too many twenties
