Count Up

There were 17 7-11s
Stacked, corner-to-corner
There were 18 separate heavens
Each with their own borders
There were 19 desperate Kevins
Getting marching orders
There were 20-year-old men
Sinking into torpors

(chorus)
Nobody asked you to come here
Nobody signed your name
Nobody asked you to come here
Nobody feels the shame
Nobody asked you to come here
Nobody signed your name
Nobody asked you to come here
Nobody feels the shame
Freedom! Oh!
You don’t! Know!
Freedom! Oh!
You don’t! Know!

There were 17 full hours
Still left in the day
There were 18 bright flowers
Somebody left on my grave
There were 19 super powers
No world left to save
There were 20 year old men
Fanning their own flames

(Chorus, solo)

There were 17 black piranhas
Biting at my skin
There were 18 mad Madonnas
Waiting to begin
There were 19 sad hosannas
Heralding the end
There were 20-year-old men
Playing ‘lets pretend’

(chorus)
