lyrics

(fifteen tabs)

Expected value, discount rate, a column for the rent
Probability of signing, weighted, over thirty months
I built it like they taught me and the model said go
And I have opened it eleven times since then

Fifteen tabs, fifteen tabs, fifteen tabs, fifteen tabs
The maths was right and I am still not sure it was right
Fifteen tabs, fifteen tabs, fifteen tabs, fifteen tabs
Because I chose the inputs and the inputs were a mood

Here is the tab nobody sees. Tab twelve. Called "Mum."
One cell. What she says when people ask what I do.
I gave it a weight. I gave my mother's face a weight. In a spreadsheet.
(BEAT SLAMS BACK)

(tab twelve...)
