NUMBERSZ - GISELLE NUMBA ONE (beat by: Mark Lawson)
YEAH I SEE YOU GOT YR BOOTS ON. AND YOU GOT YR CAMOUFLAGE. BUT HOW GRASSY ARE YOUR ROOTS, HON? JUST CHECK OUT YR ENTOURAGE. SO COMFY COZY IN YR MICROCOSM. COSMIC VIRTUE. DON'T YOU WANT TO REACH OUT, MOBILIZE. THE POOR FOLK, THEY WON'T HURT YOU. GOT NO HATE-ON FOR THE PUNK ROCK, THAT'S WHAT TAUGHT ME TO BE FREE. BUT DON'T JUST MARCH AROUND AMONGST YRSELVES IN ONE COMMUNITY. WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE, MILLIONS ALL AROUND US, THAT ARE PISSED OFF. THEY HATE THE BOMBINGS, THEY DESPISE THEIR LEADER. THEY HATE THEIR BOSS. AND THEY'RE ALL JADED, GOT NO MOTIVATION, GOT NO RESOURCE. FOREVER WAITIN, FOR THE TIDES TO CHANGE AND CHART A NEW COURSE. AND THEY'RE ALL FLOATIN AROUND, NO WALL TO REBOUND OFF, ALL TONGUE AND NO MOUTH. COULD USE SOME KIND-HEARTED COWBOYS, KIND-HEARTED COWGIRLS, ROUND EM UP, NEW ROUTE. NO INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CHANGE, NO WORLD REARRANGED, THEIR VOICE HASN'T GROWN LOUD. HOW BOUT WE OPEN SOME DOORS AND OPEN SOME WINDOWS, HAVE A LITTLE FREAK OUT?
COS WE NEED NUMBERSZ, COS WE NEED NUMBERSZ, COS WHAT WE NEED IS NUMBERSZ NUMBERSZ..
EVER SINCE I'M YOUNG, I WAS ALWAYS OUT THERE CAUSIN RUCKUS. MOSTLY FOR FUN, THEN FOR CAUSES RADICALLY SERIOUS. GOT CRAZY WILD, FIRE-BOMBIN, ACTIONS, HOPPING FENCES. THE CSIS FILE THEY GOT ON ME CALLED ME LEFT-WING TERRORIST. AND THEY ALL TOLD ME: CALM IT, CALM IT, CALM IT DOWN, YO. AND THEY ALL TOLD ME: CALM IT, CALM IT, CALM IT DOWN, YO. BUT I DON'T WANNA CALM IT, CALM IT, CALM IT DOWN, YO. NO I DON'T WANNA CALM IT, CALM IT, CALM IT DOWN, YO. DON'T WANNA SEE THAT ANGER DIE. LET'S SEE THAT ANGER MULTIPLY. DON'T FEED IT MORE TESTOSTERONE. DON'T LET IT GET SO DAMN MACHO. I'VE SEEN IT ALL, I KNOW THE SCORE. CAN'T PLAY VIGILANTE NO MORE. YA'LL WALK YR WALK, AND YR TALK IS SUPER-TOUGH. STUCK ON YRSELVES, NO ONE'S EVER HARD ENOUGH. THIS IS BIGGER THEN PUNK ROCK. YR SHIP'S STUCK AT IT'S OWN DOCK. YA'LL LOVE DEMOS AND BOYCOTTS, BUT REVOLUTION, THIS IS NOT.
NUMBERSZ, NO BABY THIS AIN'T NUMBERSZ, NO BABY THIS AIN'T NUMBERSZ. NOT NUMBERSZ, NUMBERSZ. NOT NUMBERSZ, NUMBERSZ, NUMBERSZ.
