lyrics

Up all night with fearful company.
They say that what was written out
The zero sum will eat.

Let my bird be heard, though he's hard to reach.
Write the song, I'll sing it wrong.
It's harder to retreat.

Are you kidding me? That cuckoo has his cake?
I'll let the Zero Sum Defeater have his say.

Light me up, demon in the weeds
Too circumspect to pack it up
And leave the factory.

And, what's your right to pile that up on me?
Irrelevant, so duly claim
You'll try me out at everything

All black, slicked-back and all-around provoking me,
I'll let the Zero Sum Defeater have his day.
He's addressing, down-dressing me to fail again.
I'll let the Zero Sum Defeater come my way.

My bird referred to the enemy.

Are you kidding me? That cuckoo has his cake?
I'll let the Zero Sum Defeater have his say.
He's addressing, down-dressing me to fail again.
I'll let the Zero Sum Defeater come my way.
