Back to zero
So you wanna blow us all to pieces, go meet your maker, head hung down
And give him all your explanations, go ahead, throw down
Back to zero, yeah, back to nothing, straight to meltdown, back to zero
That's where we're heading
It's a monkey living on my back, I can feel my spine begin to crack
I'm looking to the future, I keep on glancing back, I prefer to rot, I don't want to pop
I think I'll head back to the jungle, alright
Don't want to see no big bad rumble, I’m too fright
Back to zero, that's where we're going, back to nothing, right now, right now
No heroes, no more heroes, straight to meltdown
That's where we’re going, back to zero, yeah, yeah
My whole life is hanging on a thread, I'm the fly inside the spider's web
I'm looking to the future, I keep on glancing back
I prefer to rot, I don't want to pop, yeah
I worry about my great grandchildren, living ten miles beneath the ground
I worry about their whole existence, the whole damn thing's in doubt
Back to zero, that's where we're going, back to nothing, that's where we're heading
Straight to meltdown, that's where we're going, back to zero, right now, right now
If we don’t watch out, we’re going, yeah, we’re going nowhere
Right now, right now, right now, that’s where, that’s where we’re heading
Back to zero, back to zero
