We Are Nothing But Numbers
we are nothing but just numbers
are they for us
do they care about us
what about their
promises
do they really matter
where are they now
if they are here
why are we alone
have they ever cared
about us
I wonder
I see our yesterdays
I see our today
so now I can say about
our tomorrow
yes I have a say
am part of the victims
in my flesh
but a victor in my soul
again I wonder
how long we could
afford their calamities
it has turn us out
wear us down
torture us
trembled on us
yet we are humble
to no gain
I wish they care
I wish we are closer
to be free
cos despite
they are few
they have turned
us many to shadows
and now we live
in their digits
of control were
we are nothing but just numbers
