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, oh

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... oh

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 (3x)

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... oh

It ain't worth my life... oh
