lyrics

So many things divide us
Politics, religion, the things we read and see
There is so little agreement
Mention any issue, and someone will disagree

You might find someone who agrees with what you said
But maybe you said it a slightly different way
The battle lines are drawn,
That wall you built is there to stay

The only agreement this seems to be a rule
Meaningless statistics are awesome and cool !

2
How many songs went to number one three times
How many feet is the deepest coal mine
How often did Babe Ruth strike out
How many ‘stifle edith’ did Archie shout

How many notes did Charlie Parker miss
How many times was Bette Davis kissed?
How many presidents were senator first
In the big Lebowski, how many times did John Goodman curse

The only thing uniting us, the best social tool
Meaningless statistics are awesome and cool

3
There are people who dispute the election
People who dispute whether vaccines work
People who love misdirection
People who love calling other people jerks

they might disagree on if the earth is flat
but agree on the most popular youtube of a cat
the number of home runs hit with a certain type of bat
the number of movies Humphrey Bogart did not wear a hat

the only thing uniting us, in fact it makes us drool
meaningless statistics are awesome and cool !
