The scream “ITS BETTER FOR US ALL IF THERE ARE NO ONES” lives in my mind every day. This song impacted me so hard when I first heard it- but that bit just carved something into my brain.
on its face the lyrics are a cold and blasé approach to the truly dire situation they concern, but sitting behind the singer's tongue theres the constant reminder that this could be any of us with just a few bad breaks in life and there's no way off the ice. good song
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

Good song. I typed a whole paragraph but y’all don’t need me to trauma dump here. Let’s all enjoy the music together lads.
I'm listening...
These are the ears you forget are open.
No one is listening.
But still you can speak.
Ty for taking the ears and making them into eyes.
For those that have both, we owe twice the thanks.
You will make it through.
You have someone to call on.
Call on them.
Lots of poets here huh
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
i used to work at the people pound! i used to watch them line up! some sleeping on the ground!
It takes no one to know one
Yeah babey *dances* I fuxkin love AJJ
Cool feeling 🎉🎉
