Counting Zero Sums

from The Castle is Burning! by One Dog Clapping

/

lyrics

You sweep it under the carpet
until it grows into a mountain
send up your best explorer
wonder why he doesn’t come down

cheap at all the prices
cheating all with prices
keeping all the prizes
can you count the zero sums

You wait until they’re addicted
and then you cast the first stone
You make criminals of victims
Then ride your horses through their homes

cheap at all the prices
cheating all with prices
keeping all the prizes
can you mount the zero sums

Just to gaze upon it gives me sweet release
did I think that out loud?
The trophy’s there on the mantelpiece
now get your picture and get out

cheap at all the prices
cheating all with prices
keeping all the prizes
keep them all
cheap at all the prices
cheating all with prices
cheapen all the prizes
another zero sum
