Todd Snider - Statistician's Blues [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

They say 3 percent of people
Use five to six 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

They say 65 percent of all 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

[Chorus]
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're learnin in college
Is a bunch a 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

[Chorus]
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 now

They say 74 percent of all statisticians truly hate their fuckin jobs
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
That I've been watching now a while
Seems like lately alls I can think about's
How bad I wanna go out in style

[Chorus]
It's too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about, hey hey
It's too much to think about, amen
It's too much to think about
