You're just a statistic
You must try to understand
It's really not your problem
It's in someone else's hand
You've got to learn
To wait your turn
And contribute what you can
And then you'll see how well you fit
Into the master plan
You're just a statistic
You are walking through the park
Felling pretty safe
Until you hear the pistol bark
Now you're easy to find
On a dotted line
In the corner
Of a chart
Of summertime fatalities
Another bullet in the dark
You're just a statistic
And if there's a nuke attack
You won't really are about
Who shot first and who shot back
And whether you live
Or whether you live
Or whether you die
Is an unimportant fack
And then somewhere a general
Sticks a pushpin iin a map
You're just a statistic and it's time you realize
You shouldn't be surprised
'Cause you know numbers never lie
You lost a job
You got married
And you died
They say that nobody beats the odds
But you never even tried
