Zeros & Heroes

You've got a full time job, with a minimal pay
you do all of the work, but you don't get no say
You never raise your voice, or try to run the show
you always get there first, you're always last to go

You always take your share, no more no less
and when you've had your turn, there's always something left
for whoever's next, behind you in the line
when there's work to do, you always spare some time

you work your hands to the bone, but you don't complain
you never push up front, just for your personal gain

This goes out to all the zeros, to my personal heros
all the losers and zeros, you're my personal heroes,
this goes out to all the zeros

You never do no wrong, you never hurt no one
You always tell yourself, the best is yet to come
No matter how things look, How bad it all may seem
You always stand your ground, and live by your means

you work your hands to the bone, but you don't complain
you never push up front, just for your personal gain

[Chorus]

We're all heros, we're all zeros..

i've got my back against the wall, my face against your fist
my brain confronts my feelings as my stomache starts to twist
adrenaline is pumping and my head is one big mess
as i try to come to terms with my own anger and distress
that's when the first blow hits me and my head goes flying back
it bangs against the concrete and i hear when my bones crack
i raise my hands to gaurd my face cos' i'm too scared to run
i try to scream out in despair and that's when next blow comes

the second time you hit me, the pain just disappears
and all i feel is my frustration as my motivation clears
there's no way i'm gonna let you bring me down without a fight
and so i raise my arms up and i clench my fingers tight
the first time that i hit you your eyes look so suprised
you didn't think i had it in me, you just stand there paralyzed
i'm not gonna be your victim and it's time for you to learn
and so i turn my feelings off and then i'm at the point of no return

i know that there's no turning back from here,
there aren't any bridges left to burn
so instead i do the opposite of everything i've ever learned,
i'm at the point of no return

the second time i hit you, i know your going down
i can see your body shaking as you fall towards the ground
you try to keep your balance and you try to stand up straight
but when the blood runs down your face you know that it's too late
you know i'm gonna hit you with one third and final blow
and i don't even fucking care if i can sink this low
cos' there isn't any logic when the anger starts to burn
and with your back against the wall,
you stand there at the point of no return

The money, the power, the glory

It's the survival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest
When the shit hits the fan then we'll see who's leanest, the quickest
We'll witness the vultures when they begin the fighting & the feasting
there's a piece of a beast in us all that we're afraid of just releasing
there's no rhyme or reason when our instincts are awoken
the borders are broken, suddenly the truth is spoken
Survival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest

We're all in it for
THE MONEY THE POWER, THE POWER THE GLORY,
THE GLORY THE FAME, IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY

Break all of the rules neccessary to win the competition
Fake your place in the ratrace and then try to take the pole position
the mission is simply to make sure you that you get all your chances
So make no mistakes and make sure that nobody else advances
make your way to the top by any means necessary
and carry on until your enemies are dead & buried
the greed is what feeds us every time we plant the seed
it's the root of all the evil but we take what we need
Survival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest

[Chorus]

We're all looking for the power, the money & the glory
and the story never stops we like to kill for territory
It's better safe than sorry, watch your back this is a war
A sneak attack, a payback, they've got a foot in the door
So be sure to be secure or be sure to draw blood
we're all down in the dirt dragging our names through the mud
what we won't do for love, we do for money and fame
in this game the main aim is to make yourself a name for.....

[Chorus]

you do everything right for all the wrong reasons
and you use all the tricks of the trade
From the tip of your toes to the tip of your tongue
you've carefully planned your crusade
It's all surface no substance, all payed in advance
but you're the one paying the price
and the only thing left will be a hole in your pocket
when everyone else gets their slice/has been given their slice

where are you now, what have you done
what have you got left, what have you become
you had the world in your hands but it slipped through
your fingers and now look at what you've become

The masterplan wasn't yours you were just the excuse
To squeeze out some juice from the fruit
and nobody cares about your personal life
all you are is the latest recruit
the sweet smell of success has a foul aftertaste
and when you've lost your place in the sun
what you won't do for you love you just do for money
so you'd best take the money you can and then run

where are you now, what have you done
you had the world in your hands but it slipped through
your fingers and now look at what you've become
where are you now, what have you done
what have you got left, what have you become

there are no rules in the book that apply to the game
the truth comes like a slap in the face
And the next runner up gets a moment to shine
in the spotlight once you've lost your place
keep on wearing that suit for as long as it fits
and pretend that it's not wearing you
and while your busy being somebody you're not
you're much better off not even having a clue

Are you talking to me, I didn't hear what you said
Was that a word in your mouth, was that a thought in your head

Are you moving your lips, I can't hear any words
have you got something to say, was that a noise I heard
I still can't hear your voice, do you think I'm all ears
could you talk a little louder, cos' I still can't hear

Are you talking to me [3x]
There's no one else here you must be talking to me

Don't raise your voice at me, do you think that I'm deaf
there's no reason to scream, why don't you save your breathe
I heard the first time round, it's fucking greek to me
what comes out of your mouth, is like a piss in the sea

[Chorus]

You're just wasting my time, there's nothing good in you
going from bad to worse, is the best you can do
with your head up your ass, you're just a bad excuse
you don't say what you mean, so what's the fucking use?

[Chorus]

I've been scared to be heard and I've feared that my words
would appear in a place that was weird and absurd,
while my face is replaced with a picture of me,
where you see all the faults of the fake imagery,
In the great industry I've been made by the trade
while I make my mistakes in this great masquerade
the parade is all phony and they're laughing at me,
when they see how I deal with my own misery
history is repeated and my brain is deleted
but I'll stay in my seat up until I'm defeated
the beat may be distant but I still hear the click
and I'll kick up a storm until I make myself sick
and when I loose the plot and they tighten the knot
then I'll take what I can, when I can while I'm hot

I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've got
I'll give it my best shot, if you like it or not

I want just World domination
Give me world domination [2x]

It's been more than a year of ignoring my fear
cos I've cleared out my thoughts until they disappeared
I still hear the signals and I see all the signs
they've all been assigned to the back of my mind
and I find that in time all my doubts are outshined
by a new kind of faith that I place in my shrine
I refuse to resign or give in to my wims
so I follow the line for as long as my limbs
choose to carry my weight and my heart still pulsates
the stakes may be high but I can't hesitate
I'll do whatever it takes to break out of this mould
and to shake off the demons and whatever upholds
me from being the best I can possibly be
the most meanest and leanest and dopest MC

I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've got
I'll give it my best shot, if you like it or not

I want just World domination
Give me world domination [2x]

You can all hate me but you can't duplicate me
cos' I've been copywrited and no one can break me
I'll shake up your rumours with humour that's lethal
til' you understand that you can't be my equal
'there won't be no sequel for as long as I'm standing
it's totally wrong it's a misunderstanding
or a misunderstatment do you need a translation
killing you with my mouth is my main occupation

I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've got
I'll give it my best shot, cos' I'm right on spot

I want just World domination
Give me world domination [2x]
