I'm (Not) A Number

I am simply not a human being
I'm a number, nothing more and just that
My wits are to the test but I'm fleeing
From all the things I have, falling just flat

Letters on a page are not me, I'm lost
All I am is the sad victim of this
System that is killing us at no cost
Help me, no, save us with things we can't miss

Punish us when we fail to no avail
Turn a head as we win because to you
We are numbers, things that cannot prevail
Just parts of your machine, we start anew

And I finally see at year eighteen
I'm not the number I see on the screen
