Number in the Book

No glove, no love

You've been hearing this so many times

Don't you think it's time

To be a little more responsible?

Too many people die these days

If you read the papers, check out the news

The numbers are there

But every number, represents a human being

Who was a father, who was a mother

A son or a daughter of this land

You don't make the commitment but your body does

Even if you're dead silent

You are here today, tomorrow you are gone

You don't wanna be another number in the book

You are here today, tomorrow you are gone

You don't wanna be another number in the book

You are here today, tomorrow you are gone

You don't wanna be another number in the book

In the shadows of the night

A lady from the street corner talks to a customer

Money exchanges hands

That's the formality and she says

? No glove, no love?

You can pay me well, but it ain't worth my life

Too many people die these days

If you read the papers, check out the news

The numbers are there

Every number, represents a human being

Who was a father, who was a mother

A son or a daughter of this land

It ain't worth my life, she said

? You are here today, tomorrow you are gone

I don't wanna be another number in the book

You are here today, tomorrow you are gone

I don't wanna be another number in the book?
