Going Nowhere - Lyrics - Zero Down

Zero Down was a punk rock trio formed by former Strung Out bassist Jim Cherry, former Down by Law drummer Milo Todesco and former War Called Peace guitarist John McCree. Frontman Cherry enlisted the support of Fat Wreck Chords owner Fat Mike, who released the band's first album, With a Lifetime to Pay in 2001. The music was a throwback to mid-90s melodic skate punk , and was well received. The band added a fourth member in August 2001, ex-Lagwagon guitarist Shawn Dewey.

This is what you offer me A system of dishonesty Where life is measured monetarily And I'm just another face Another man with the simple skills Of staying alive and paying the bills I'll never amount to anything Live and die where I've always been This is where I'm at The bills still come no matter what I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere Uneducated though I graduated Wish I would have been a little more dedicated And got something out of school Instead of always playing the fool But even if I did for just one day Had all the right words that I wanted to say It wouldn't make any difference anyway Cause no one's listenins This is where I'm at The bills still come no matter what I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere So save your words Just save your words Cause I don't care anymore So save your words Just save your words Cause I don't care anymore So save your words Just save your words Cause I don't care anymore So save your words Just save your words Cause I don't care anymore My father worked his life away In all those years he never missed a day There isn't anybody that could say He didn't keep his bills paid All that time he never got to do All the things in life that he wanted to He always kept his family fed With the blood and sweat he shed With the sacrifice he's made This is how he gets repaid I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere I'm all grown up but still I'm going nowhere
