I'm nothing more than a balance sheet nailed to the wall.
When the numbers aren't lining up, they'll call
I'm a simple equation to be solved
Emotional matters don't matter at all
I don't want to be a string of numbers counted constantly in the shadows
Dispatching orders from the deep end, to me drowning in the shallows
Another few cents added to the paycheck, the gains are feeling hollow
It's too little, too late to help me for tomorrow
At the finish line for these capitalist games
Jokes on them, I'm about to win the race
Bolting so fast through the track I'm blasting off into space
They can go on counting their numbers without me, good riddance, won't miss this place
Space Race.
