Zero Sum Lyrics
Zero sum, mute point
A cut out trying to fill the void
A sh!t grin, a performance
A tipping point, loose banister
The physical lines of forced thought
That’s a lot to burn for no reason
A gas leak, I’m falling through the ice
A vacant lot to buy, vacant lot to buy
A clipped tongue, acting dumb
Somewhere in the past in a re-run
Thinking all the ways the system will provide
Windows 95, Windows 95
So over confident, confident, confident
They’re so over confident, confident, confident
That’s another red flag, red flag
That’s another red flag, red flag
The masterclass, the TED Talk
That’s a lot to burn for no reason
They’re thinking all the ways the system will provide
Windows 95, Windows 95
Listen close, listen carefully
You will hear that the birds are in the wrong place
Fortunately there the system will provide
Windows 95, Windows 95
They’re so over confident, confident, confident
They’re so over confident, confident, confident
That’s another red flag, red flag
That’s another red flag, red flag
