The sequence of numbers spoken at 2 minutes and 32 seconds (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) is the beginning of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number Fibonacci sequence], a sequence in mathematics in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. | |||

<poem> | <poem>There's always a number that'll make you feel bad about yourself | ||
There's always a number that'll make you feel bad about yourself | |||
You try to measure, try to measure up to someone else | You try to measure, try to measure up to someone else | ||
Numbers are out to get you | Numbers are out to get you | ||
Numbers are out to get you | Numbers are out to get you | ||
Numbers, ooh ooh | Numbers, ooh ooh | ||
They say that you're too short to join the team | |||
And your I.Q.'s too low for poetry | |||
Numbers are out to get you | |||
Numbers are out to get you | |||
Numbers, ooh ooh | |||
I hear the sadness in your laughter | |||
So call on me and tell me what you need | |||
Just call on me and tell me what you need | |||
Look at him, look at her | |||
They got a million Likes | |||
You better figure out how to multipy-divide | |||
Numbers are out to get you | |||
They'll kill you if they get through | |||
Numbers, ooh ooh | |||
I hear the sadness in your laughter | |||
So call on me and tell me what you need | |||
Just call on me and tell me what you need | |||
I'm a one-number zero | |||
In the end, does it matter? | |||
All that we even really know | |||
Is that every nail needs a hammer | |||
But the numbers ??? when we love | |||
And the two becomes one | |||
I hear the sadness in your laughter | |||
I hear the sadness in your laughter | |||
So call on me and tell me what you need | |||
Just call on me and tell me what you need | |||
(0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) | |||
I hear the sadness in your laughter | |||
I hear the sadness in your laughter | |||
