Had a friend he would spend all his time going mad
You never heard more absurd, his new versions of 'crazy horses'
Finger to the head, everybody said he was cracked
And he was out there, but somehow he always came back
Back to zero
Then he got put away up to the hospital
Back to zero
They let him out -- Now he's got nothing to say

The lesson learnt was to never return to that place
Creating fear with control of your character on prescription
Now he smiles like his files are being held to his face
If he did resist a bit it wouldn't fit and there he goes again
Back to zero
He plays it safe but feels deranged
Back to zero
Just waiting for the call -- We're taking all you know away

They call you mad, feed you drugs, say you're cured and you're free
To keep in line with the threat they can do as they please
Scapegoats for the rest of us until we sus it's all you & me
In and out of institutions, repetition & exclusion
Lies they sell you
Make you doubt your sanity
But when they tell you
You must come back where you've just been
You'll have no chance to tell them
No! I'm O.K. now!
Back to zero
No! I'm O.K. now!
Back to zero
Back to zero
Back to zero
No! I'm O.K. now!
Back to zero
Back to zero
Back to zero
No! I'm O.K. now!

Love, Just hold me
One more time, then I let it go
the need to know, what was real
everything I asked for is given back

I do not want to pretend that I have rested in vain
and as the sun turns away I feel the pain of the stains

I am down back to zero
never thought id need this place, again
the tracks along my dreams
lead me back to the beginning
back down, to zero

no guarantees, or commitments
never promised what we could not keep
visions clash, seperate us
pictures changing make things fall apart

I do not want to pretend that I have rested in vain
and as the sun turns away I feel the pain of the stains

I am down back to zero
down back to zero
down back to zero
back down to zero

I am down back to zero
never thought id need this place, again
the tracks along my dreams
lead me back to the beginning
back down, to zero

and dont you think its the strangest thing
I know I should've known better
then to find myself in such a lonely place
and everything I fear
takes me back to the beginning
but it never felt so empty back to one

I am down back to zero
never thought I'd need this place again
the tracks along my dreams
lead me back to the beginning
back down, to zero

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Back to zero
So you wanna blow us all to pieces
Go meet your maker, head hung down
And give him all your explanations
Go ahead, throw down
Back to zero, back to nothing
Straight to meltdown, back to zero
That's where we're heading

It's a monkey living on my back
I can feel my spine begin to crack
I'm looking to the future
I keep on glancing back
I prefer to rot
I don't want to pop

I think I'll head back to the jungle, alright
Don't want to see no big bad rumble, too fright
Back to zero, that's where we're going
Back to nothing, right now, right now
No heroes? No more heroes
Back to meltdown
That's where I'm going, back to zero

My whole life is hanging on a thread
I'm the fly inside the spider's web
I'm looking to the future
I keep on glancing back
I prefer to rot
I don't want to pop

I worry about my great grandchildren
Living ten miles beneath the ground
I worry about their whole existence
The whole damn thing's in doubt
Back to zero, that's where we're going
Back to nothing, that's where we're heading
Straight to meltdown, that's where we're going
Back to zero, right now, right now

We're going nowhere
Right now, right now
Back to zero, that's where we're heading
Back to zero

Vuelta a cero

Vuelta a cero, así que queres hacernos explotar en pedazos?
anda a encontrar al creador colgado cabeza abajo
y dale tus explicaciones, anda, vomita
vuelta a cero, hacia nada
directo al desastre nuclear, vuelta a cero, hacia allá vamos.
Es como un mono viviendo en mi espalda,
puedo sentir mi espina dorsal fracturarse.
Estoy mirando hacia el futuro y sigo hojeando al pasado
prefiero pudrirme antes que explotar
creo que volverá a las selvas, así es
No quiero ver el gran temblor, demasiado miedo.
vuelta a cero, hacia allá vamos
De regreso a la nada, ahora mismo, ahora mismo

sin héroes?
mi vida pende de un hilo, soy la mosca en la telaraña
Estoy mirando hacia el futuro y sigo hojeando el pasado
prefiero pudrirme antes que explotar.
me preocupo por mis nietos,
que vivirán 10 millas bajo la superficie,
me preocupo por todo su futuro, esta todo en duda e incertidumbre
vuelta a cero.
