Thievery Corporation - The Numbers Game

I'm talking people
About the same old game
Their running them numbers
And the winners never change
The dice is loaded
And the deck is stacked
The game itself
Will hold you back

Check out your mind
And don't be blind
To the numbers game

Don't be in the dark
All by yourself
Don't play the hand
That the dealer has dealt
We're cashing out
'Cause it's time to sell
Taking back the power
Gonna share that wealth
Come on now

Check out your mind
And don't be blind
To the numbers game

I'm talking people
About respect, yeah
Baby you can't win
When you place that bet
The dice is loaded
And the deck is stacked
The game itself
Will surely hold you back

Check out your mind
And don't be blind
To the numbers game

Check out your mind

See you gotta get hip on this
So you won't trip on this
