The Nodd LIVE: Zero Hour (11.11.11)

The Nodd performs Zero Hour, including a surprise bridge, after delivering their album Baby's First Wars in its entirety. 11.11.11: Baby's First Wars LIVE was a commemoration of the album's release two years prior, on Veterans Day, 2009.

(Zero Hour)

Countdown on the ground - your rocket can't be found
Ciao ciao -- now now, maybe next time around
The strike's not so hot once the iron cools down
The moment -- do you own it -- do you let it go

Can't get in it, cuz you're too nicely dressed
Drop the ball, catch your breathe, missing the call distress
You've got quite a lot -- don't quit while you're ahead
Ready? Set? No, not yet.

My, my, would you look at the time
Or are you blind
Lie, die, something's calling your bluffin'
'Zero' don't mean nothin', Zero Hour

Time is always playing so hard to get
Just ain't gonna paint that sun before it sets
Don't let regret weight like a ton of lead
Misled, distracted, saying 'Rosebud' in your bed

Can't do the news, it just gives me the blues
Help -- is there something somebody else can do
Poor -- war -- settle your zero score
Ready? Set? No, not yet.

My, my, would you look at the time
Or are you blind
Lie, die, something's calling your bluffin'
'Zero' don't mean nothin',

Zero Hour -- ego, power -- hero, coward

(excerpt from Rockin' In The Free World by Neil Young)

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

My, my, would you look at the time
My, my, would you look at the time
My, my, would you look at the time
My, my, would you look at the time
My, my, would you look at the time
Or are you blind
Lie, die, something's calling your bluffin'
'Zero' don't mean nothin',
'Zero' don't mean nothin',
'Zero' don't mean nothin',
'Zero' don't mean nothin',
'Zero' don't mean ...
