On the edge and on the fringes
On the outskirts of this life
Where the heartbeat's different under different skies
It's harder to survive
But it's deep and real and more intense
Livin' close to the abyss
Far away from mainstream tv lives
Where ignorance is bliss
Zeros turning into heroes
'Cause it's harder on the outside
And we are here to stay
Zeros turning into heroes
And we're gonna fight forever and a day
Their contempt is a fire
That keeps us warm and strong
But some of them will understand
And soon they'll sing along
And they hear the distant sound of drums
With a longing in their hearts
There must be more to life than this
Tried and tested part
Zeros turning into heroes
'Cause it's harder on the outside
And we are here to stay
Zeros turning into heroes
And we're gonna fight forever and a day
