Facts + Figures
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If all the food
The warsmen ate was sent around the world
No one would have to work
A single day
If all the money In the banks was left to boy and girl
Noone could then complain
About their pay
Facts and figures
Facts and figures
Filling up the pages every day
Facts and figures
Facts and figures
Spilling out of papers every day
Upon the roads
The accidents
They rob us of the few Wars
They take away so many more
As long as we don't know them
They remain upon the page
It's the history book picture
That you saw
Facts and figures
Facts and figures
Filling up the pages every day
Facts and figures
Facts and figures
Spilling out of papers every day
Facts and figures
Facts and figures
Right or wrong is difficult to say
'Cause everybody knows
The way that the wind blows
Facts and figures can be friends or foes

Facts and figures
Right or wrong is difficult to say
'Cause everybody knows
The way that the wind blows
Facts and figures can be friends or foes
So try to keep your fingers crossed
When listening for the bell
So facts and figures don't catch you as well
So facts and figures don't catch us as well
So facts and figures don't catch us as well
So facts and figures don't catch us as well
So facts and figures don't catch us as well
