all you broken boys and girls

making plans to rule the world

ooh your power play

ooh a zero sum game

fortune made

dead and buried

all you broken boys and girls

making plans to rule the world

are you sacred or profane

provincial or urbane

when you break it down

in the end we're all the same

ooh your little arms race

ooh a zero sum game

ooh your power play

ooh a zero sum game

under the towers we pass but nothing has changed

the shadows cast we grow indifferent to the pain

thrust upon us in the vortex of our broken lives

today the darkness but tomorrow burning bright

art and poor

oil and war

rich and happy

jewel and thief

man and beast

black and hungry

all you broken hearted fools irony your only tool

are you sacred or profane hendrix or coltrane

ooh your little arms race

ooh a zero sum game

ooh your power play ooh

a zero sum game
