lyrics

Binary Life

Consider that I'm a one 1
and you're a zero 0
it doesn't mean I'm better than you
they are both equally valid
plains of existence
but everybody knows
the zero 0 gets screwed.

Some would say
the zero 0 is a female
its really hard to argue
or wonder why
after all there's a hole
there in the middle
and the ones 1 are lining up
to get together and multiply.

This binary life has got me down
it's all just black and white
day or night
fuck or fight
and the men who made the world
where we dwell
believe it heaven and hell
and so the code goes on and on....

zero 0 is the youngest of the numbers
it holds a place that hasn't begun
the shallow man is wading in the deep end
because everybody knows
you've got to look out for number one 1.

This binary life has got me down
it's all just black and white
day or night
fuck or fight
and the men who made the world
where we dwell
believe it heaven and hell
and so the code goes on and on....
