I've come loaded with statistics, for I've noticed that a man can't prove anything without statistics.

Another statistic

i Don't wanna be another statistic
some girl who has no money
who steals to help and support
a girl who has nothing
or no one anymore

i dont wanna be another statistic
some suicidal teen
who has nothing left to live for
and nothing to believe

i dont wanna be another statistic
someone who gets in trouble
for nothing and everything
someone with bad grades
who has no chance of graduating

i dont wanna be another statistic
a girl who doesnt go to college
and one who doesnt graduate

Posthuman

Shes got eyes like zapruder
And a mouth like heroin
She wants me to be
Perfect like kennedy
This isnt god, this isnt god
God is just a statistic,
God is just a statistic
Say,
Show me the dead stars,
All of them sing.
This is a riot
Religious and clean
God is a number you cannot count to
You are posthuman and hardwired
Shes pilgrim and pagan
Softworn and so-cial
In all of her dreams
Shes a saint like jackie-o
This isnt god, this isnt god
God is just a statistic,

A Sad Story

How was one a travesty
And genocide but another
Statistic daily

Who was here first
Man or Earth or
God

And if the farm
Be for the people
Why do we rush and wish
Other people gone

In today's statistic daily
Another million gone

Or is it because the earth
Has to ventilate

No excuses made
