Number In The Book Lyrics

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
If you read the papers, check out the news
The numbers are thereBut every number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land
You don't make the commitment but your body does
Even if you're dead silentYou are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
You don't wanna be another number in the bookIn 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 loveYou 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 thereEvery number, represents a human being
Who was a father, who was a mother
A son or a daughter of this land
It ain't worth my life, she saidYou are here today, tomorrow you are gone
I don't wanna be another number in the book
You are here today, tomorrow you are gone
I don't wanna be another number in the book
