Year Zero

Living in the city

Nobody said it would be easy

7 Million lonely souls

Well it's a sweet shame, it's a pity

When you realize those city lights ain't pretty

And the streets, they ain't paved with gold

'Cause you wanna be somebody

I wanna be somebody

Let's knock the door they gotta let us in

I got my fingers on the handle

I got another angle

So get your aces up your sleeve and let's go gambling

When every winner is a villain

Every loser is a hero

Put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues

And dance like it's year zero

When the front runners lose the riders

And the ten to one outsiders

They hold the future in their hands

We'll fool the casino cool pretenders

The poker faced pretenders

Grab the chips, put the booty in the bag

When every winner is a villain

Every loser is a hero

Put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues

And dance like it's year zero

'Cause you wanna be somebody

I wanna be somebody

Let's knock the door they gotta let us in

I got my fingers on the handle

I got another angle

So get your aces up your sleeve and let's go gambling

When every winner is a villain

Every loser is a hero

Put on our two-step shoes and lose the blues

And dance like it's year zero
