The Math

Could it be we be buying dreams to disguise what we don't have?
Could it be we worship things that ultimately can't last?
Could it be we sabotage love 'cause it hurt us in the past?
Could it be we can't clearly see what to subtract and what to add?

You do the math, you do the math
You do the math, you do the math
You do the math, you do the math, you do the math
And see what you get

Could it be we flee responsibility
All 'cause mom and dad made us sad?
Hear me now
Could it be we give up on justice
'Cause the wrong wrong so dynamic?
Somebody
Could it be we're suffering in low esteem and no standards?
Could it be, could it be, could it be (Could it be)
That our ugliness (Our ugliness)
Our ugliness is our favorite math?

You do the math, you do the math, you do the math, you do the math
You do the math, you do the math, you do the math
You do the math, you do the math, you do the math
You do it, you do the math
See what you get, see what you get, see what you get
You do the math, you do the math, you do the math, you do the math

Subtract the fake from the real, see how you feel
Multiply kindness and harmony, see how you breathe
If it makes things better for you, baby
You do the math, that's all I ask
You do the math, you do the math
