Lyrics
LIFE BY THE NUMBERS
Music by: Patrick L. Schiller
Lyrics by: Larry Ocwieja
Watch all the people
Try to fit into their place
See all the guiding signs
For the human race
WO OH Well, life by the numbers
No one really seems to count
Well, life by the numbers
Never worry about greed
How much longer can we be
Can we be around
WO OH how much longer
Can we be around
Shall all the children understand
All the things that their young eyes might see
Or can the people living hand in hand
Show them that there is a reason to be
WO OH Well, life by the numbers
No one really seems to count
WO OH Life by the numbers
Never worry about greed
How much longer can we be
Can we be around
WO OH How much longer
Can we be around
WO OH Well, life by the numbers
No one really seems to count
Life by the numbers
Never worry about greed
How much longer can we be
Can we be around
WO OH how much longer
Can we be around
Shall all the children understand
All the things that their young eyes might see
Or can the people living hand in hand
Show them that there is a reason to be
WO OH Well, life by the numbers
No one really seems to count
Well, life by the numbers
Never worry about greed
How much longer can we be
Can we be around
WO OH how much longer
Can we be around
AH AH AH How much longer
Can we be around
