Talking heads on TV say that dog eat dog is true
If I don’t grab the stuff I need, you’ll take it all for you
They say that wealth is one big pie and we all get a piece
Just don’t be the weakest one-cause then you get the least.

Zed Sum Game, brutal game
Selfish by another name
You shouldn’t have to lose for me to gain
We’re all in this together and together we must change
We don’t have to play- a zero sum game.

They say if someone hurts you, you gotta hurt them back
That may be human his’try, but it’s time for changin’ tack
Revenge and retribution keep us fightin’ all the time
“An eye for an eye” and the whole damn world goes blind.

(Chorus)

Some say the game is all there is
We must compete or die
I’m tired of fighting for my slice
Let’s make a bigger pie

Zed Sum Game, brutal game
Selfish by another name
You shouldn’t have to lose for me to gain
We’re all in this together and together we must change
We don’t have to play a zero sum game (repeat)
