One Plus One Minus One Equals One - The New Year

Some things arise

And certain people devise

While others resign themselves

To design

But whatever the meaning to them

It doesn’t mean anything to us

We know things happen for no reason

But obey the same calculus

That says one plus one minus one equals one

It was over just as soon as it had begun

Numbers disappear

Just as soon as they were here

And some of them remain

And some are never the same

But whatever the meaning for them

It doesn’t mean anything to us

They count with their fingers

But we have our own abacus

That says one plus one minus one equals one

It was over just as soon as it had begun
