No One

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 put 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 that there 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 of 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
