Commas & Zeros

(album: Binge & Purgatory - 2017)

How many ways can you tell the same tired story?
Heard you forever, and you never said something
Bored me to tears, but I never felt nothing

When you put your pen to paper if it's not a cheque are you still inspired?
It's like you've all been cheating off the same sheet
Ideals laid to waste to pave the way to mediocrity

We need some inspiration, at the cost of your high rotation
We need some inspiration, not another hit on the radio station
We need some inspiration, at the cost of your high rotation
We need some inspiration, not a fucking hit on your bullshit station

Yeah, got the same bills as the next
But refuse to dance for dollars while management cash cheques
Guess in ethics you boys were skipping classes
Used to have the juice, watered down to feed the masses

It's a damn shame, ain't a damn thing funny
Watch a grown man turn tricks for the money
It's a damn shame, ain't a damn thing funny
Watch a grown man turn bitch for the money

How many ways can you tell the same tired story?
Heard you forever, and you never said something
Bored me to tears, but I never felt nothing

When you put your pen to paper if it's not a cheque are you still inspired?
It's like you've all been cheating off the same sheet
Ideals laid to waste to pave the way to mediocrity

They think they can put a price, on any man's soul
Just a matter of the commas and zeros
They think they can put a price, on any man's soul
Just a matter of the commas zeros

How many ways can you tell the same tired story?
Heard you forever, and you never said something
Bored me to tears, but I never felt nothing

When you put your pen to paper if it's not a cheque are you still inspired?
It's like you've all been cheating off the same sheet
Ideals laid to waste to pave the way to mediocrity

We need some inspiration, at the cost of your high rotation
We need some inspiration, not another hit on the radio station
We need some inspiration, at the cost of your high rotation
We need some inspiration, not a fucking hit on your bullshit station

They think they can put a price, on any man's soul
They think they can put a price, on any man's soul
