Too Many Twenties Lyrics - Singles - Rainmakers

(B. Walkenhorst) 

There's too many twenties, too many fives 

Too many numbers in front of our eyes 

Too many statistics that nobody reads 

Numbers don't lie but numbers don't bleed 

Who's counting when it way past plenty 

There's too many twenties 

There's too much hush money being passed in the joint 

Too many bodies hidden behind the decimal point 

A number's got a name, a name's got a face 

And a face should have a future and a place that's safe 

But the chances of that are between slim and skinny 

There's too many twenties 

Every second sister's got a fighting chance 

Of getting hurt at home by a lover's show of hands 

And every fourth daughter's gonna cover up and cry 

When she comes home from school saying "Mama, Papa, why?" 

What are you gonna tell them, just to smile and look pretty and take it? Huh? 

All you fathers looking in your little daughter's eyes 

Know that your worst nightmare finds one out of five 

Don't worry about cancer, aids, or nothing else 

Just worry about the fact there's a man in the house 

Till death do us part, man, it do part plenty 

There's too many twenties 

Tick tock tick tock tick tock 

Tick tock tick tock tick tock ten 

Somewhere another woman just took it on the chin 

Tick tock tick talk is tough 

Your sister just had her dignity snuffed 

Every second counts, minutes equal many 

There's too many twenties 

Sound and information are reduced to bites 

And the voice of opposition to a stereotype 

The numbers are numbing, they're hard to believe 

They're blurred by the blood on the balance sheet 

Stack the bodies in neat little piles of ten 

And hit me 

There's too many twenties
