Were Zero Meets Fifteen Lyrics - Five Iron Frenzy

My car broke down in Arizona, have to ride the bus again, at ten-o-clock on 

Tuesday night, with thirteen cents and a broken pen. 

I put my backpack on the bench, tell two people i dont smoke, see the cop 

across the street, he thinks that am selling dope. 

I could have walked another block, to get away from the scene. 

Why does it always come to this, where the zero meets fifteen? 

And so i gave my thirteen cents, to the man who peed his pants. 

He passes out and falls on me, i watch my change fall from his hands. 

I see the lady next to me, holds her baby black and blue. 

The junkie gutter-punks keep asking, where i got my new tatoo. 

What does it matter anyway, thirteen cents or all I own? 

HOw can i ever save the world, on cup-o-soup and student loans? 

I want to try and save the world, but it never goes that way. 

God i dont know what to do, down oat Colfax and Broadway. 

Now the man with no shoes on, says i dont know how to play. 

He says i fumble all the time. 

He thinks that i am John Elway. 

I put my face down in my hands, water wells inside my eyes. 

What do i have to give them? 

Does it matter if i try? 

I cant stand to see you suffer, i try to intellectualize, a formula to end 

your pain, it doesnt work, God knows Ive tried. 

Sometimes myu cup is overfilled. 

Sometimes Im to afradi that Im going to spill.
