Lyrics
Zero through nine in perfect rows
Knowledge carved in numbered stone
Philosophy and pure math gleaming
One hundred subdivisions dreaming
Every thought finds its assigned home
In systems we have always known
Seven hundred tales unspoken
Eight hundred verses broken
Literature's rebellious heart
Pulls the careful world apart
Stories want to migrate freely
Cross the boundaries we decree
Dewey's logic can't contain
What the heart knows how to name
Six hundred sciences applying
Nine hundred histories lying
Underneath the catalog's face
Truth finds its forbidden place
Classifications breaking down
When real connection's found
Numbers cannot hold the weight
Of what we're learning to create
Dewey decimal, decimal, can't divide us anymore
Love reorganizes everything we thought we knew before
Three factions, one collection, finding harmony at last
The future writes itself beyond the rigid rules of past
Zero through nine but infinite between
Classification serves what can't be seen
Orderers and Rewinds and Indexfolk unite
Dewey decimal guides us to the light
Every number holds a thousand stories
Every story holds ten thousand more
In the spaces between the categories
Lives the truth we're fighting for
Perfect order, perfect care
For the love we've learned to share
