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 (who was also guitarist and songwriter for Epitaph Records band Pulley) enlisted the support of Fat Wreck Chords owner Fat Mike, who released the band's first (and only) album, With a Lifetime to Pay in 2001. The music was a throwback to mid-90s melodic skate punk (no surprise given the pedigree of Zero Down's members), and was well received. The band added a fourth member in August 2001, ex-Lagwagon guitarist Shawn Dewey. more »

The clock is ticking on the wall
The world is spinning
While the millions work to justify there lives
They search for meaning 
In their useless sense of breeding 
In the search for recognition
When they die

But ego won't permit
Belief in our mortality 
So we manufactured our delusioned lie
We believe with much conviction
In our useless superstition
That our lives are bigger than life

The man of tv preaches his beliefs to me
And says that I'm doomed
'cause I don't live like him
He asks for contributions 
For his sermons convolutions
In return his absolution for your sin

I watch in disbelief 
As people try and
Shed their grief 
Because they can't accept the things
They've become
They blindly patronize a dogmatic pack of lies
That tell them Jesus is the chosen one

Strictly designed for the weak of mind
Not just for the working mans opiate anymore
Paralyzed minds all seeking the sublime
With all doubt ruled out 
By the faith in the divine
All of them seeking that same righteous reward

Weak of mind born to follow
Do not question the beliefs you swallow
Eternal life for your belief in man
Welcome to the empty promised land
Don't think, don't breathe, don't live, just believe
With no question just devotion
Lifeless lives living in transition 
Welcome to the empty promised land
