Lyrics
Every line gets checked
Every line gets closed
No percent to spare
That's the number that we check
The board says done
The board says clear
A hundred percent That's the only gear
Some units flex We set our own time
The magnet and the beam
Don't get that line
No percent to spare
No percent behind
Every line item Every single time
No percent to spare
The count stays true
A hundred every time is all we do
The scope, the pump, the scale, the bed
The wrist that stretches the data's in our head
But the tube that spins, the beam that burns
Never gets the freedom, never gets the turn
No percent to spare
No percent behind Set behind every line item
Every single time
No percent to spare
Set to spare The count stays true
Count stays true A hundred every time is all we do
No exceptions carved For the ones that count
Not a war on the crew, just a war on the clock
We don't lose it, the ones we know can't be
We close the rest and start again
No percent to spare
No percent behind Every line I look
Every single time
No percent to spare
The count stays true
A hundred every time
Is all we do
gets closed
No percentage better
