[Verse 1]
I got an offhand way

I've gotta walk away
Jet-lag is suffocation
[Chorus]
Call me zero/zero zero

Call me zero/zero zero
Call me zero/you are zero
[Verse 2]
Another cloudy day

[Chorus]
Call me zero/zero zero
Call me zero/you are zero
Call me zero/zero zero
Call me zero/you are zero
(C'mon!)
[Bridge]
You'll be coming around, and you'll be off station
And you'll be hanging around until you go in make-up
Man, give me social-disease and give me teenage razors
Man, give me social-disease and give me high-end phasers
[Verse 3]
I got an offhand way
Give me some information
She's gotta walk away
Jet-lag is suffocation
[Chorus]
Call me zero/zero zero
Call me zero/you are zero
Call me zero/zero zero
Call me zero/you are zero
Call me zero/zero zero
Call me zero/I am zero
Call me zero/zero zero
Call me zero/I am zero
Zero Zero was written by Gerard Way.
Zero Zero was produced by Doug McKean.
Gerard Way released Zero Zero on Tue Sep 30 2014.
Gerard told Rolling Stone:
‘Zero Zero’ kind of started as this Blur ‘Song 2’ thing, kind of fuzzed out, but we always heard Joy Division in it, so it ended up in going in that direction.
