Safety In Numbers

Written by Joan Osborne & Erik Della Penna



There is safety in numbers

and people and thins and in big wads of money and

great big platinum rings

And no one will ever get near me again

There is safety in numbers

in numbers my friend



There are people who watch you in your windows at night

and they follow your movements in the cold fluorescent light

They wait for their moment

They'll get you in the end



There is safety in numbers,

in numbers my friend

I was just like you before

You want somebody to love

Since that day I learned the score

I know how to rise above

There is shelter in power

and promises of pain and in lovers and lawyers

and dogs pulling at the chain

And no one will ever get near me again



There is safety in numbers,

in numbers my friend

You will find me well protected

when you come around today

So remember what

I told you and continue on your way

Cause no one will ever

get near me again



There is safety in numbers, in numbers my friend
