  • Down here on planet zero
    They swing that gavel hard
    No words, no peace, no advocate
    No signs of life so far

    Better pray for the soul of the citizen
    Better pray that you're not erased
    On your knees, for the life you're livin'
    On your knees or you'll be replaced

    Replaced

    Out here on planet zero
    We live like no tomorrow
    I think we've reached the ceiling
    They're canceling your feelings
    On to better days or so they say
    But I don't think so
    They're murdering our heroes
    Out here on planet zero

    Look at me, I'm not lookin' for a favor
    I'm just lookin' for an axe to grind
    All hail power to the people
    Except you, you check the box we don't like

    Don't like
    So bite your tongue 'cause it might save your life

    Out here on planet zero
    We live like no tomorrow
    I think we've reached the ceiling
    They're canceling your feelings
    On to better days or so they say
    But I don't think so
    They're murdering our heroes
    Out here on planet zero

    Ten, nine
    Eight, seven
    Six, five
    Four, three, two, one
    Shut the door, say a prayer, kill the lights
    Bite your tongue 'cause it might save your life
    Shut the door, say a prayer, hold your breath
    No one's comin', you're the only one left

    Down here on planet zero
    There might be no tomorrow
    I think we've reached the ceiling
    They're canceling your feelings
    On to better days or so they say
    But I don't think so
    They murdered all your heroes
    Down here on planet zero

    Zero

    (Zero) Shut the door, say a prayer, kill the lights
    Bite your tongue 'cause it might save your life
    (Zero) Shut the door, say a prayer, hold your breath
    No one's comin', you're the only one left Writer/s: Brent Smith, Eric Bass

  • John Saltz O'huigin from PaducahShinedown did not write the lyrics to Planet Zero. Much like everything else they perform, the lyrics were taken off of the Marilyn Manson forums. Soon they'll be out of what I wrote and you'll get to see what kind of artist they really are
