4940
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
4941 = 34 × 61
Are written on the subway walls
4942
And tenement halls
4943, prime!
And whispered
4944
In the sounds of silence."
[Let’s continue with Simon and Garfunkel:]
I am just a poor boy,
4945 = 5 x 23 x 43
Though my story’s seldom told
4946
I have squandered my existance
4947 = 3 x 17 x 97
For a pocketful of mumbles
[interesting, most lyrics sites do not say existence but resistance. Yours makes more sense: mix them]
4948 - 22 × 1237
Such are promises
4949 = 72 x 101
All lies and jest
4950
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
[I guess I’ve always heard “existence,” because I’ve wanted to 
]
4951 = a prime, or 44,559 / 9
And disregards the rest.
[Good one, Spoons!]
4952
When I left my home and my family
[Thanks!]
4953 = 3 × 13 × 127
I was no more than a boy
4954
In the company of strangers
4955 = 5 x 991
In the quiet of a railway station
4956
Running scared
4958 = 2 x 37 x 67
Laying low
4959
Seeking out the poorer quarters
