ZEROS
Recently we heard a tv series character say of a billionaire, “I bet his life looks great through all those zeros,” or something like that. And from that came this. Our friend and music partner Peter sent us five guitar tracks which along with Janice’s four vocal tracks had Bud pondering panning for quite a while. Thanks to Peter, PG Music and to all who take time to listen. Comments are welcomed. Lyric below and on SC.

V1
you never thought a minute about looking up
always staring left or right and following dollars
the game’s nearly over there’s no overtime
fate, oh fate, is gonna empty your coffers
Chorus
didn’t life look grand through all those zeros?
sitting on top of the world’s billionaire list
a long ride up but a short fall down’s coming
don’t waste time thinking you’ll be missed
V2
outa desperation you tried a little contrition
but mount redemption’s not an anthill
you kept bending reality to fit your schemes
now look around everybody’s had their fill
Chorus
V3
doing the right thing never came easy
because you don’t recognize the wrong things
friends are running while the hour glass runs dry
branded a loser no matter what the future brings
Chorus
Outro:
look around, no wealth, no friends, it’s all gone
the end is near, uh oh, your time’s up!
