    Story Behind the Song
    What can I say. When over half of the band gets laid off you just gotta write a song about it. Call it an anthem for the unemployed. Beware corporate America, someday the tables will turn.

    Lyrics
    Here are your numbers
    Thats the bottom line
    Here's two weeks notice
    To start another life
    If it can't be measured
    Than it has to be ignored
    Our efficiency experts
    Say you're not an asset anymore

    Chorus:
    I know you don't beleive me
    In spite of what the figures say
    But, your just one of plenty
    We can hire a cheaper face

    What you know doesn't matter
    So your positions been erased
    We need money for software
    Nothing personal in any case
    Well I think there are programs
    That can help with your resume
    Your not a bad guy
    Your just useless in this place

    Here are your Numbers......
