"Back To Zero" lyrics

Back To Zero

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
Back to nothing
Straight to meltdown
Back to zero
That's where we're heading

It's a monkey living on my back
Oh, 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
Too fright

Back to zero
That's where we're going
Back to nothing
Right now, right now
No heroes?
No more heroes
Back to meltdown
That's where I'm 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
Oh, I prefer to rot
I don't want to pop

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
Yeah
Right now, right now

If we don't watch out going
Yeah
We're going nowhere
Back to zero
Right now, right now
Right now

Back to zero
That's where we're heading
Back to zero
Back to zero
Back to zero
