Never Gonna Be The Same - 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.

How much do you pay for product What do you pay for hype How long will that purchase matter When that "push" falls from your sight If they sugar coat the poison It'll kill you quite the same Tune us in as consumers And anesthetize our brains We're too dumb to figure out That we all play the game And we're to blame Do we know what's fact or fiction Do you really trust the news How much truth gets filtered out Before it gets to you Diverting your attention From the problems here at home Sweep the homeless under the rug In our ghettos we disown Out of sight out of mind It's a method we condone Reap what we've sown People fight for equality For their gender and their race They seek to blame each other For the problems that they face But when 20% of the country Owns 80% of its wealth It limits your opportunities To playing the hand that you're dealt Because money is what divides More than color or creed The middle class the poor And rich minority And while they tear down homeless shelters To erect big strip mall chains The gap between the rich and poor Gets wider every day It doesn't matter what they say to you We're never gonna be the same It doesn't matter what they say to you We're never gonna be the same It doesn't matter what they say to you We're never gonna be the same It doesn't matter what they say to you We're never gonna be the same
