Lyrics

Facts and Figures

If all the food

The warsmen ate was sent around the world

Noone 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

Facts and figures

Facts and figures

Facts and figures

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

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
