"Zero Sum" lyrics

"Zero Sum"

Zero sum, moot point
A cut-out trying to fill the void
A shit 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 overconfident, confident, confident
They're so overconfident, 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 overconfident, confident, confident
They're so overconfident, confident, confident
That's another red flag, red flag
That's another red flag, red flag
