Zero or a Zillion (feat. Aesop Rock)

Zero or a Zillion(feat. Aesop Rock) - Aesop Rock/Kimya Dawson

Yeah mother f**ker

Keep the f**king doors set

What

Put your f**king hands down

As I sit and listen to a kid you clearly influenced

I text and say I'm glad that you're my friend ya

Then leave another perfect time

Show feeling inspired and powerful

The ghost of corporate future

In my head my f**king head

And as I count the ways that

I've said f**k you to the man

I don't care who thinks that

I've sold out or not I don't care

Since going barefoot I feel better

That Regina f**king spectator is a name

I'll never be ashamed to drop go Regina

I saw that little weirdo walk into the

Open mic sit down shyly at the piano and then start wow

Singing songs we'll start to knowing

Silly sad and so mind blowing

They were undeniably straight

From the heart right from the heart

And the music

It doesn't change

No songs remain the same

Whether there are zero people or there are a zillion

People in the world who are listening

Yeah the music

It doesn't change

No songs remain the same

Whether there are zero people or there are a zillion

People in the world who are listening

I have a friend named Eva seventeen

She's a soprano she sings opera with

A voice that makes me cry cry

But she sings in competitions

And the kids at school give her shit

I wish that she could sit back and close her eyes eyes

And feel the vibration of her voice inside her chest

Without worrying about who thinks that who

Thinks who's the best the best

While at time when there are people who

Think that it's not enough and there

Are people who think that I've went too far too far

All I ever wanted was to not feel suicidal

And I traded in my meds for a guitar

There's so much depression nowadays in adolescents

And with all the social pressure that makes sense

But music shouldn't be the problem

Music should be the solution

And only a positive experience experience

Because the music

It doesn't change

No the songs remain the same

Whether there are zero people or there are a zillion

People in the world who are listening

No the music

It doesn't change

No the songs remain the same

Whether there are zero people or there are a zillion

People in the world who are listening tell 'em

I have a friend named Johnny D

His band is tin tree factory

Everything he does is gold to me

And it's on archive dot org for free yes

W w w dot a r c h i v e dot o r g

I like sitting on the floor watching Johnny play

On his knees on a carpet

Not on a stage

In front of a fire in a living room

Cozy and warm full of potluck food

But if one day suddenly Johnny got huge

I'd be glad that you knew Johnny too

His songs are smart important brave

Wanting that to myself would be totally lame lame

I don't claim to be Regina's only true fan

Just because I knew her way back when

And if you think Cat Stevens couldn't be my god

Cause I heard him first in Harold and Maude

I bought all his albums

I listened I cried

Teaser and the fire cat changed my life

I painted a fire cat on my jean jacket

Drew peace trains on my homework packet

I'm still listening to the wind of my soul

And I'm a hard headed woman so I've been told

Yeah music's just sound

We're just ears

Why are you affected by what who hears

If Michael Jackson's hits make him less sacred

Then you taking your clothes off makes me less naked

When what each preach I'll make it or break it

Do you wanna abstain uh no

Repeat after me

You can like what you like

You can like what you like

And let them like what they like

And let them like what they like

You can like what you like

You can like what you like

And let them like what they like

And let them like what they like

Boom boom boom Shaka Shaka Shaka boom

Boom boom boom Shaka Shaka boom boom

And they and they and they

And they and they and they

And you and you and you and you

Like like like like like

Like Like like like like like

Like Like like it

I love you mickey
