I’ve been trying to explain
The parts are different but the sum is the same
Trying to get you to realize
That half the winners taking all of the prize
1 2 3 4 5
Still breathing still alive
But when I disappear
Will anybody know that I was here

Two sides of a river, two sides of a coin
And a place in the middle where both sides join
The light of the moon and the light of the sun
And a place in the dark where the two become one
5 4 3 2 1
You tell us how it’s done
But your daughters and your sons
We know a new arithmetic will come

I’ve been trying to explain
what you call a theory I call a game
Trying to make you understand
that everybody’s made of stars and sand
1 2 3 4 5
Still breathing still alive
But when we disappear
Will anybody anybody anybody know that we were here

A song about math and feminism. The five daughters of Tzelofchad (Numbers 27) argue before Moses that they should inherit their father’s land (rather than it returning to the tribe since they had no brothers.) Moses agrees and the precedent for female inheritance (even if only in limited situations) is set.
