verse 1 Some folks sleep with their heads on the railway track Talk about a rat king, talk about slipping through the crack The Corridors of power are echoing with something for everyone Nothing there for you, and there's nothing there for me Some fish swim when they don't know the water from the air Talk about a dreadnought, talk about a multi-millionaire You tell me it'll never work, and I can't have my cake and be eating it Well I don't want your cake, I never ate it anyway Pre-Chorus I don't need to run the numbers I don't care about your numbers I don't read the numbers numbers I don't need to run the numbers 'Cos I can feel 'Cos I can feel it And I don't care I'll never care 'Cos I can feel 'Cos I can feel it And I don't care I'll never care about your numbers verse 2 Hear that professor? Less of your lip Give me what I asked for, I don't like the cut of your jib Tell yourself it's over soon And something's gonna drag you away from me I was in the background, now I'm in your bed Pre-Chorus I don't need to run the numbers I don't care about your numbers I don't read the numbers numbers I don't need to run the numbers 'Cos I can feel 'Cos I can feel it And I don't care I'll never care 'Cos I can feel 'Cos I can feel it And I don't care I'll never care about your numbers Bridge And I wait, and I wait and it never comes And I wait, and I wait And I wait, and I wait and it never comes And I wait, and I wait And I wait, and I wait and it never comes And I wait, and I wait And I wait, and I wait and it never comes And I wait, and I wait Pre-Chorus I don't need to run the numbers I don't care about your numbers I don't read the numbers numbers I don't care about your numbers Riff (2x) 'Cos I can feel 'Cos I can feel it And I don't care I'll never care 'Cos I can feel 'Cos I can feel it And I don't care I'll never care about your numbers Pre-Chorus/Outro I don't need to run the numbers I don't care about your numbers I don't read the numbers numbers I don't need to run the numbers I don't need to run the numbers I don't care about your numbers I don't read the numbers numbers I don't care about your numbers
