Zeroes

(Author's Note: The lyrics to this song are based on the song, Heroes, by David Bowie.

I, I don't know a thing
And you, you ain't so keen
Though Mensa has turned you away
We can defeat them - it'll be okay
Because we are zeroes, each and every day...

And you, you don't want to be seen
When you're an idiot, there's no "in-between"
Against us, the odds are a bit stacked
'Cause we're stupid, and that is a fact...

No tutor can, can ever make us better
It would take longer, more than just one day
Because we're zeroes, each and every day
And that's okay...

I, I wish we could swim
Circles 'round Mensa, but those prospects are dim
Really nothing, nothing can keep us from drowning
Because Mensa, Mensa knows we're just clowning
Oh they know we're zeroes, each and every day...

I, I still don't know a thing
And you, you do not that much bring
We're nothing, nothing to Mensa anyway
They know we're zeroes, each and every day
We're stuck being us, each and every day....

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, out in the hall (in the hall)
Or writing, writing on the chalkboard (on the chalkboard)
That we were dunces, which made us feel small (made us small)
And the shame, was such that we couldn't hide
We could not defeat them, never - not ever
That made us zeroes, for ever and ever...

We are all zeroes
We are all zeroes
We are all zeroes
Each and every day
We are all zeroes

We're nothing, but we're nothing together
We're morons, but we'll find a way
Because we are Dunsa, and Mensa will pay...
