Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Tribal Statistics lyrics

Who are you? Give details

Everywhere you look now, questionnaires
They want every detail of your affairs
Oh, so many people lives
Wrapped up in those

Statistics, statistics – figures in a page
Statistics, statistics – numbers on a tape
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda

Everywhere you go now you're in their sight
Yes, they classify you – shades
Of black and white oh, so many people lives
Wrapped up in those

Statistics, statistics – figures in a page
Statistics, statistics – numbers on a tape
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda

No chance of going back
And putting things right
These people rule with facts in the night
So many people lives wrapped up in those

Statistics, statistics – figures in a page
Statistics, statistics – numbers on a tape
Statistics, statistics

Who are you? Give details
Who are you? Give details

Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda
Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Venda

Statistics, statistics – numbers on a tape
