Lyrics ~ Three Sevens Clash EP

Is anything real if it’s made up of zeros and ones
Does anything really exist if it has no existence

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

Is anything real if it’s made up of zeros and ones
Is anything real if it’s made up of zeros and ones

Lyrics ~ Vinyl album

Is anything real if it’s made up of zeros and ones
Does anything really exist if it has no existence

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

Is anything real if it’s made up of zeros and ones
Is anything real if it’s made up of zeros and ones

(narration)
Why not
I was a rock star
I wanted to smash up hotel rooms
Didn’t I
Wanted to take drugs, get girls
Not push around a pram and change nappies
