Cover art for Zeros lyrics by Minus the Bear

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.

Thursday's "For The Workforce, Drowning" - http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858487168/ Pedro the Lion's "Penetration" - http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/80824/
