zeros and ones
Where am I going?
Where am I from?
It’s all been stolen
By zeros and ones.
Where am I going?
Where am I from?
It’s hard to breathe air.
Filled with zeros and ones.
Air’s a scarlet letter.
It’s being shunned.
Pushed into an outlaw
By zeros and ones.
My mind’s being clicked
By a ray from the sun.
But directions are only given
By zeros and ones.
It’s hard to find the truth
In the light of the sun.
When it’s been eclipsed
By zeros and ones.
Zeros and ones, zeros and ones.
Divide and conquer into oblivion.
Knock on the door
Of a house built for fun.
Laughter is hidden
Behind zeros and ones.
Smiles came easy
In the house of fun
But now they’re locked in the cellar
By zeros and ones.
Zeros and ones, zeros and ones.
Divide and conquer into oblivion.
Cake eaters are waiting
But the cake’s never done.
Cake makers can’t decide
Frost with a zero or one.
And birthdays don’t count
When the words can’t be sung
The music’s been stolen
By zeros and ones.
Zeros and ones, zeros and ones.
Divide and conquer into oblivion.
Clarity takes the middle road
But it’s been undone
By a left or a right
Of a zero or one.
Time can’t decide
Which way to run.
Something’s gone missing
Between the zeros and ones.
There was pride in performance
Where somebody won.
Now there’s losers everywhere
Done in by zeros and ones.
Thought it was bad
When Johnny got his gun
But what’s ten times more lethal
Is those zeros and ones.
The path’s one way.
It’s a hard way to come
Gatekeeper only accepts
Zeros and ones.
Zeros and ones, zeros and ones.
Divide and conquer into oblivion.
Grace Kelly used to shine.
Marilyn Monroe stun.
Now it’s make love to a virtual image
Of zeros and ones.
We used to touch.
Say, “I love you” with our tongues.
But you can’t kiss
A zero or a one.
Words used to play
In the land of the pun.
Now they're sucked down under
By zeros and ones.
Our story’s almost over
And it’s hardly begun.
Brought to its final chapter
By zeros and ones.
Zeros and ones, zeros and ones.
Divide and conquer into oblivion.
