Zeros Lyrics
We are common
More than we think
And so unique
To whoever's behind the eyes
We're the zeros
Behind the billions
Assigning numbers
So specific
Wake up before the sun
Leave your hour
To the highway
And your day to
Line the pockets
Of some man with
The softest hands
Sometimes I think
That it's all a
Sick joke on
The middle class
Keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Keep your head down
And your numbers, numbers up
I swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon
We're all counting on
Counting on you
Put your time in
And time again
Spend your weekends
Fixing dead ends
Years go by
Xeroxed days of
Exchanging your life
For a paycheck
Sometimes I think
That it's all a
Sick joke on
The middle class
Keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Keep your head down
And your numbers, numbers up
I swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon
We're all counting on
Counting on you
Keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Keep your head down
And your numbers, numbers up
I swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon
We're all counting on
Counting on you
More than we think
And so unique
To whoever's behind the eyes
We're the zeros
Behind the billions
Assigning numbers
So specific
Leave your hour
To the highway
And your day to
Line the pockets
Of some man with
The softest hands
That it's all a
Sick joke on
The middle class
Keep your head down
And your numbers, numbers up
I swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon
We're all counting on
Counting on you
And time again
Spend your weekends
Fixing dead ends
Years go by
Xeroxed days of
Exchanging your life
For a paycheck
That it's all a
Sick joke on
The middle class
Keep your head down
And your numbers, numbers up
I swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon
We're all counting on
Counting on you
Keep your head down
And your numbers, numbers up
I swear on my checkbook you'll be up here soon
We're all counting on
Counting on you

Second verse sounds like it goes this way to me:
Put your time in And time again Spend your weekend Finishing dead ends Years go by Xerox days of Exchanging your life For a paycheck
The song is about wasting time working, "for the man" at a boring 9-5 striving to stay above water. It's got the same meaning overall as a number of songs out there.
