[Deepspace5 - Thinking By Numbers lyrics]
It goes one for the money
And two for the time
Three for mortal man and four for divine
Five for the rhyme and six for the reason
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
One for the pleasure and two for the pain
Three for the struggle and
Four for the strain
Five for deepspace and six for
Something to believe in
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
Lights, camera
Activate activists on picket lines
Masochists are killing time
We're passionate and spilling rhymes
Filling minds with a plan so elaborate
Let's infiltrate this whole charade
And undermine the establishment
Grab your seat belt, fasten it
They fascinate the inhabitants
Pump us full of information that
They know to be inaccurate
They got a moral detachment habit
So turn your back on graphic violence static
Support this positive movement through
Music or you're stagnant
(Nah, he's only joking) yeah
But, it's not far from the truth
In fact, it lives two doors down
Right there in apartment # 22
So many schools of thought have been
Bought or knocked off kilter
It only takes a platinum plaque or
Maybe thirty pieces of silver
So who killed the family? Let's
Blame it on the government!
It's the democrats, the republicans
Whatever party's running it
Spit something that's heartfelt
Or emotionally sacred
Can't walk these streets naked cloaked
In my happy-faced hatred
Realize the world around me is
Exactly what I make it
You've gotta face the music or
This music leaves you faceless
You've gotta face the music or
This music leaves you faceless
You've gotta face the music or
This music leaves you faceless
It goes
One for the money and two for the time
Three for the deaf and four for the blind
Five for the rhyme and six for the reason
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
One for the pleasure and two for the pain
Three for the struggle and
Four for the strain
Five for deepspace and six for
Something to believe in
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
Now, first of all I can see from where I'm
At the moat from which this castle grows
Secondly, the kings inside seem
Content and determined to
Drive their people far into the moat
Just to see them float
I saw pain from life and
Relief by the knife gripped
By white knuckles tight hiding
Deeds from the light
People walking with smiles and blades
Coming from their backs
Residents blindfolded with eyes painted
On the front and tied tight in the back
Blank minds individually fulfilled with
The iron fist columnist
Spitting chaff, trying to veil the hoard
Feelingless, making everyone a pacifist
Then there was crushing blows from
All the self-titled nobles
Taking so much more than they're worth
Killing citizens as they throw them
Using them
Last, it was the shocking melancholic
Acceptance that the sluggish
Majority applauded for, lived for
With their abusive leaders giving more
I turn my face to dry heave
Turn my direction to leave
It goes one for the money
And two for the time
Three for the bread and four for the wine
Five for the rhyme and six for the reason
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
One for the pleasure and two for the pain
Three for the struggle and
Four for the strain
Five for deepspace and six for
Something to believe in
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
Well, if my name wasn't Sev
I wouldn't know the cost of perfection
But, I recall I was called to
Just give out these messages
Wetting kids with semi-automatic pen weapons
Send them back to the lab second-guessing
Or thinking on mathematical equations
Questions get asked
Should they pursue pen and pad
Infection with no cure?
I'm ill but pure, fulfill prescriptions
The Point Man is in
Lessons served up for mental treatment
Seeking out souls like I'm a
Sage or capture one
Or two or three or more like forever
Ink is sprayed on pages of life
I'm contemplating on meeting knowledge to get
In good with his wife
Wisdom seems like she got some things cooking
Looking real tight a sight for sore eyes
So I'm only checking her at night time
Nah, don't trip, I speak on inspiration
It's poetry though, bro
It feels good to be creative
I'm writing numeric
With a chain reaction of wonder
I slumber over my notebook
When I'm thinking by numbers
It goes one for the money
And two for the time
Three for mortal man and four for divine
Five for the rhyme and six for the reason
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
It goes
One for the money and two for the time
Three for the deaf and four for the blind
Five for the rhyme and six for the reason
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
It goes one for the money
And two for the time
Three for the bread and four for the wine
Five for the rhyme and six for the reason
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
One for the pleasure and two for the pain
Three for the struggle and
Four for the strain
Five for deepspace and six for
Something to believe in
And seven's for the number
That signifies completion
And two for the time
Three for mortal man and four for divine
Five for the rhyme and six for the reason
And seven's for the number
