lyrics

Factored in then syphoned off
Divided up and then forgot
Then forgot
The dice were rolled, the cards were stacked
You bet on red but it came up black
It came up black
Relying on the law of averages
To get it back on track

(Chorus)
The final answers floating
In a sea of only primes
The remainder's been subtracted
But never multiplied
In the numbers game

Reports are coming from the polls
Small percentage that enrolled
That enrolled
The split goes up, the gap comes down
Take the fraction in account
In account
The entertainment on the airwaves
Called it all throughout

(Bridge)
Amongst all the equations
A difference not a sign
The statistics offer nothing
Because they're lying all the time
