Five Iron Frenzy - Where Zero Meets 15 lyrics

My car broke down in Arizona Have to ride the bus again At ten-o-clock on Tuesday night With thirteen cents and a broken pen I put my backpack on the bench Tell two people I don't smoke See the cop across the street He thinks that I am selling dope I could have walked another block To get away from the scene Why does it always come to this Where zero meets fifteen? And so I gave my thirteen cents To the man who peed his pants He pa**es out and falls on me I watch my change fall from his hand I see the lady next to me Holds her baby black blue The junkie gutter-punks keeps asking Where I got my new tattoo What does it matter anyway Thirteen cents or all I own? How can I ever save the world On cup-o-soup and student loans? I want to try and save the world But it never goes that way God I don't know what to do Down at Colfax and Broadway Now the man with no shoes on Says I don't know how to play He says I fumble all the time He thinks that I am John Elway I put my face down in my hands Water wells inside my eyes What do I have to give them? Does it matter if I try? I can't stand to see yousuffer I try to intellectualize A formula to end you pain It doesn't work God knows I've tried Sometimes my cup is overfilled Sometimes I'm too afraid that I'm going to spill
