Petrichor, Ltd. - Ones & 0s

Picked first picked last
Top or bottom of the class
Do the math, throw the ball
Feelin' short or walking tall
Stand up, get in line
Alphabetically defined
Who’s the first and Who’s the last
They’re telling me that we’re all
Ones and zeroes
Crooked villains and heroes
Confused 'cause we know
We’re all the same
We’ve got just one try
To prove we’re worth life
But the secret’s out right for everyone to see
This method's got to go
Born rich, die poor
Don’t know what you’re searching for
Dark skin, red hair
Dealin dimes or catchin stares
Stand up, get in line
Pre-genetically defined
Who’s the law who’s on the ground
They keep insisting we're all
Ones and zeroes
Filling cages with cheap clothes
Confused ‘cause we know
We’re all the same
While we sit out the fight
Distracted by these lights
Never knowing what it’s like to be under a knee
This method's got to go
An empty painting hides the writing on the wall
We’d see it’s beauty if we just deny the fall
Oh coal of fire touch my lips and wash them clean
The first and last is found where justice goes between
So stand up, get in line
We refuse to be defined
Sing out loud and let ‘em know
Our life is more than useless
Ones and zeroes
Crooked villains and heroes
Confused ‘cause we know
We’re all the same
We’ve got just one try
So let your light shine
And make the secret out right for everyone to see
So sing out and let ‘em know!
