Back to Zero - Abney Park

We took the many hits, the ship’s on fire

The mast are down, they’re on the ground

They’re laying in the mire

My body’s sore, starting to tire

Just when it’s time to get to work

And to put out all the fire

I’ll get my hammer, salvage some nails

And wonder how we fell- fell off the rails

But the gains I make don’t make me a hero

All the work I do is just to get back to zero

We’ve lost more, more than we’ve gained

We’ve lost people, self respect, and we’re feeling drained

We stand defeated on a forgotten ship

And wonder if this journey is something we should skip

Feels like a ghost- they won’t be missed

The town is taking me apart I wonder why I resist

But the gains I make don’t make me a hero

All the work I do is just to get back to zero

We took the many hits, the ship’s on fire

The mast are down, they’re on the ground

They’re laying in the mire

My body’s sore, starting to tire

Just when it’s time to get to work

And to put out all the fire

I’ll get my hammer, salvage some nails

And wonder how we fell- fell off the rails

But the gains I make don’t make me a hero

All the work I do is just to get back to zero
