"99" lyrics

I hear a drum that's beating
Struck by a phantom hand
A headful of confusion
Lost in the promised land
Don't recognize the station
What's real is hard to tell
Unwavering illusion
What do you really sell?

99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
99
Nine nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine

A lifetime of distraction
A rulebook drawn in sand
For a piece of a fraction
What don't you understand?
I hear a drum that's beating
Struck by a phantom hand
A headful of confusion
Lost in the promised land

99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
(Why don't you understand?)
99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
(Do you believe it?)
99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
(Uh)

99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
99
Nine nine nine nine nine
Nine nine nine nine
