Todd Snider Statistician's Blues Lyrics

They say 3 percent of the people use 5 to 6 percent of
their brain
97 percent use 3 percent and the rest goes down the
drain
I'll never know which one I am but I'll bet you my last
dime
99 percent think with 3 percent 100 percent of the time

65 percent of all the world's statistics are made up
right there on the spot
82.4 percent of people believe 'em whether they're
accurate statistics or not
I don't know what you believe but I do know there's no
doubt
I need another double shot of something 90 proof
I got too much to think about

Too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about

They say 74 percent of everything you learned in
college is a bunch of bullshit you'll never need
83.4 percent of everything you got you bought to
satisfy your greed Because 91 percent of the world's population links
possessions to success
Even though 88 percent of the wealthiest 1 percent of
the population
Drinks to an alarming excess
More money, more stress

It's too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about
Pick it then

74 percent of all statisticians truly hate their f*ckin
job
The average bank robber lives within say about 20 miles
of the bank that he robs
There's this little bank not far from here I've been
watching now for a while
Lately all I can think about's how bad I wanna go out
in style

Too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about
That's right
It's too much to think about
Amen
It's too much to think about
