"Ah... punk by numbers
oh no nothing's for free
ah... punk by numbers
oh yeah check out the cheap scenery!"

The manager:
"So you want to play the game?
well, here's an upstart for you
yes, and his aim is true
and when the people arrive
give them what they want
'cause they want his life!"

The crowd:
"I believe in you.
I believe in what you do!"

"Ah... punk by numbers

The manager:
"Hey, now don't look so surprised,
'cause we've been watching you
and we know just what you like!
and when the people stand
and cheer, who do you think
will be the last one laughing here?"

The crowd:
"I believe in you.
I believe in what you do!
I believe in you.
I believe in what you do!"

"Ah... punk by numbers
oh no nothing's for free
