This song may be a sly reference to the “New World Order” conspiracy theories, in which an authoritarian world government will seize power and demolish traditional values. In this farcical re-imagining, the traditional order of numbers is to be replaced with a new order, literally.
Okay
Here's what we're going to do
We all know the numbers, right?
From zero to infinity, whatever
Some other number with a mess of zeros behind it
Here's what we're going to do
We're gonna change the order
Of these numbers
To make things interesting
Okay, here we go:
(One million and one)
Sixty-six
One billion, twenty-five, seventy-five thousand
(One billion and eight, six, something)
Zero
One million, one
Twenty-two
Seventy-five, eleven
Eleven
Ok; it's the new order
