[Tokyo Police Club - Listen to the Math lyrics]
You've been famous since your birth
A silent one it was, 'till they told me
"It's a girl" and everybody gasped
I know how to raise you right
Teach you how to read, and your math, yeah
Toys, spelling, names, alphabet
And how to be polite
You've been famous since your birth
A silent one it was, 'till they told me
"It's a girl" and everybody said
"You and your atlas know it all"
Let the corners curl, 'cause if
You go by night
You'll hit the coast for sure
It's a ruse, it's a laugh
Experts, they agree, listen to the math
Australopithecine re-kindle your heart
These hospital machines are state of the art
I put down my middle name in
The back of her book
And signed it just in case
Our work was overlooked
'Cause, I got one more up my sleeve
I'll bring it out tonight, 'cause
If I am the joke, then you're the punch line
It's a ruse, it's a laugh
The experts, they agree, listen to the math
Australopithecine re-kindle your heart
These hospital machines are state of the art
But, it's the art of the state
Thats gonna keep me awake
I need a second opinion
Not a second to waste
A silent one it was, 'till they told me
"It's a girl" and everybody gasped
I know how to raise you right
Teach you how to read, and your math, yeah
Toys, spelling, names, alphabet
And how to be polite
You've been famous since your birth
A silent one it was, 'till they told me
"It's a girl" and everybody said
"You and your atlas know it all"
Let the corners curl, 'cause if
You go by night
You'll hit the coast for sure
It's a ruse, it's a laugh
Experts, they agree, listen to the math
Australopithecine re-kindle your heart
These hospital machines are state of the art
I put down my middle name in
The back of her book
And signed it just in case
Our work was overlooked
'Cause, I got one more up my sleeve
I'll bring it out tonight, 'cause
If I am the joke, then you're the punch line
It's a ruse, it's a laugh
The experts, they agree, listen to the math
Australopithecine re-kindle your heart
These hospital machines are state of the art
But, it's the art of the state
Thats gonna keep me awake
I need a second opinion
Not a second to waste
