Who do you call on when you have no one |
|
Who do you call on when you have no one |
|
This might not be nice to say |
|
But I'll say it anyway |
|
When you have no one |
|
You are no one |
|
I used to work at the people pound |
|
I used to watch them line up |
|
Some sleeping on the ground |
|
Their diabetic bellies |
|
Gleaming fat and round |
|
When you have no one |
|
You are no one |
|
Like I said |
|
I used to work at the people pound |
|
All these no ones clumped together |
|
Just like a human lost and found |
|
If they let them all be someones |
|
There wouldn't be enough to go around |
|
It's better for us all if they are no ones |
|
And I knew a lot of no ones 'round that time |
|
They used to all be someones |
|
Until something took their life |
|
And all their someones disappeared |
|
While they're stuck waiting in a line |
|
And for them now no one seems to have the time |
|
I knew someone who had a disease |
|
And it took away all that mattered |
|
His brain and dignity |
|
And I tried my best to fight it off |
|
To try to set him free |
|
Now that someone is no one to me |
|
Who do you call on when you have no one |
|
Who do you call on when you have no one |
|
This might not be nice to say |
|
But I'll say it anyways |
|
When you have no one |
|
You are no one |
|
And it takes no one |
|
To know one |
