Lyrics
ROUNDING ERROR
Music and lyrics by paul iorio
Copyright 2025
Boss is payin' me a
Rounding error
Suicide's all I can afford
Being broke is
a form of terror
It's my only way forward
If you wait for the skies to open
and rain down gold
If you wait for the skies to open
You'll be too damned old
Boss is payin' me a
Rounding error
Suicide's all I can afford
Being broke is
a form of terror
Suicide's my only way forward
I built a better mousetrap, baby
But my idea was stolen
The thief, he eats T-Bone, baby
And I get a scone
spoken
If you're stuck in sand and glue
That's pretty much all you'll do
People made money off my mind
But I didn't make a dime
Rounding error
Rounding error
Rounding error
