Clap for the Zeroes

Tried to avoid it but I saw the news today
Seems like the show writers just don't know what to say
No fresh ideas so the show's stuck on repeat
The same old stories about the rich crushing the meek
They killed off a character we'd hoped they'd save
And resurrected a monster we'd hoped would fade
They turned their back on the heroes and being brave
They'll sleep fine, there's no guilt lines on their faces

The plot twist is that people are still surprised
By the latest deception and all the lies
They sit at home thinking 2 + 2 is five
Do what you're told and just be glad that you're alive

Clap clap for the zeroes and all of their friends
Let's raise a glass to the cowards who have tricked us again
Clap clap for the boys' club the hypocrites
Some animals are more equal get used to it

Another day another new antagonist
Just add them to the ever growing villain list
Just when you think things can't get much worse than this
Don't hold your breath here comes another predictable twist
They'll drag it out and try to bleed it 'til it's dry
They'll keep us guessing or at least that's what they'll try
Clutching at straws they know we've seen it all before
They know we couldn't care less and we don't care any more

The plot twist is that people are still surprised
By the latest deception and all the lies
They sit at home thinking 2 + 2 is five
Do what you're told and just be glad that you're alive

Clap clap for the zeroes and all of their friends
Let's raise a glass to the cowards who have tricked us again
Clap clap for the boys' club the hypocrites
Some animals are more equal get used to it
Clap clap for the zeroes 'til your hands bleed
But they can't even hear us they're too busy
Don't even try to hide it from you and me
We can't breathe we're drowning in apathy

If this was a show it would be cancelled by now
The first season was good
Feels like we're stretching it out
If this was a show it would be cancelled by now
The first season was good
Feels like we're stretching it out (feels like we're stretching it out)

Clap clap for the zeroes and all of their friends
Let's raise a glass to the cowards who have tricked us again
Clap clap for the boys' club the hypocrites
Some animals are more equal get used to it
Clap clap for the zeroes 'til your hands bleed
But they can't even hear us they're too busy
Don't even try to hide it from you and me
We can't breathe 'cos we're drowning in apathy
