Zero Sum Game
Since the dawn of humanity
A privileged few have lived
Above the poor majority
They say the gap will never close
The poor will always be with you
There's only so much to go around
For one group to win
The other has to lose
They'll fix society
They'll give to those
Who deserve it most
Better pray you make the list
They want you to believe
It's a zero-sum game
That we need their help
And there's someone else to blame
For me to have mine
I've got to take a piece of yours
It's time to evolve
Scarcity to abundance
Half of them say the problem's the rich
Who's dirty money is evil
And inherently wrong
They want to take it all away
Half of them say the problem are those
Unemployed in the projects downtown
Trying to live off the backs
Of those who earned it fair
There's a better way
A way that everyone can win
There's enough to go around
They want you to believe
It's a zero-sum game
That we need their help
And there's someone else to blame
For me to have mine
I've got to take a piece of yours
It's time to evolve
Scarcity to abundance
There's more that enough to go around
It's rising up from out of the ground
It's falling down from the sky
It's in the creativity of our minds
Every one of us can win
They want you to believe
It's a zero-sum game
That we need their help
And there's someone else to blame
For me to have mine
I've got to take a piece of yours
It's time to evolve
Scarcity to abundance
A privileged few have lived
Above the poor majority
They say the gap will never close
The poor will always be with you
There's only so much to go around
For one group to win
The other has to lose
They'll fix society
They'll give to those
Who deserve it most
Better pray you make the list
They want you to believe
It's a zero-sum game
That we need their help
And there's someone else to blame
For me to have mine
I've got to take a piece of yours
It's time to evolve
Scarcity to abundance
Half of them say the problem's the rich
Who's dirty money is evil
And inherently wrong
They want to take it all away
Half of them say the problem are those
Unemployed in the projects downtown
Trying to live off the backs
Of those who earned it fair
There's a better way
A way that everyone can win
There's enough to go around
They want you to believe
It's a zero-sum game
That we need their help
And there's someone else to blame
For me to have mine
I've got to take a piece of yours
It's time to evolve
Scarcity to abundance
There's more that enough to go around
It's rising up from out of the ground
It's falling down from the sky
It's in the creativity of our minds
Every one of us can win
They want you to believe
It's a zero-sum game
That we need their help
And there's someone else to blame
For me to have mine
I've got to take a piece of yours
It's time to evolve
Scarcity to abundance
