You're not the one for me, you're the zero.

It's Pop. It's Rock. It's Punk. It's Groovy.
Every band likes to think their music defies categorizing, while at the same time usually realizing that to be unique is to invite commercial failure. The Oozing Grooves solves that dilemma by taking a samurai philosophy towards music: commercial failure is inevitable, so why not just enjoy the act of creation and write what you want? The resultant blend of new millennium pop punk and 80s synth-pop rock features thick vocal harmonies layered over simple bar chords in an arrangement several listeners -- including a couple of industry insiders -- have called a blend between Green Day and the Beach Boys.

Story behind the song
This is just a sheer, high-speed rant with an insane, off-the-cuff solo, jammed into barely over 2 minutes. I challenged myself on this one to stick to a I/You/We format on all the verses.
Lyrics
I can't get out of here fast enough Cuz you have made my being here way to tough Just keep my stuff Because I'm not coming back for anything You can Ebay the engagement ring We're not tied up by the cherub's bowstring I thought that you were everything, but You're the Zero, baby You are the Zero, baby I used to think you were my hero But you're not the one for me You're the zero I don't know what I ever loved you for And I have had some rotten girlfriends before But you're a whore You know I'm not having any fun You will sleep with anyone We should never have begun I used to think you were the one, but You're the zero, baby You are the zero, baby You fiddled around like you were Nero You're not the one for me You're the zero Why don't I, why don't I...? And why don't we, why don't we...? Well, why don't you, why don't you Go fuck yourself I've seen all I wanna see You have pissed me off officially We're no longer a thing to call "we" I thought you were the one for me, but You're the zero, baby You are the zero, baby Go tell your friends that I'm a weirdo Cuz you're not the one for me You're the zero
