How to Lie with Statistics by Janine Levinson published on 2021-12-27T21:51:50Z How To Lie With Statistics. 2021 Janine Levinson You take the bottom You take the top You take the middle And add them up Then you divide So everyone is average And then you talk About it all You make it so You smooth it out If you don't speak Don't say the word Then it won't be May it never be The sound of the word makes you average And when you say the word it makes you average And time will see what becomes of me 'Cause I don't believe in average And so you speak You speak the word Then everyone is indistinct The twenty-four, the ninety-three The thirty-five, the seventeen And not a one will hear his name But instead will stand in line And just because the world is round Will join their hands and always rhyme The sound of the word makes you average And when you say the word it makes you average And time will see what becomes of me 'Cause I don't believe the averages Average things in a special design Special things in an average design Some times in your life, in your lifetime Special things in a special design You take the bottom You take the top You take the middle You add them up Then you divide So everyone is average And then you talk About it all And wonder what What can it mean To then divide To find the mean Of ninety five and seventeen The sound of the word makes you average When you say the word it makes you average I don't believe in average Comment by mistermark Allo!
