Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Commissioner Johnson picks up the nods of the folks where progressives have been
It’s like a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that he keeps for TV by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do those votes come from?
All the lonely people
Where do those votes belong?
Senator Sanders writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do those vote come from?
All the lonely people
Where do those votes belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Commissioner Johnson knocks on the doors and prepares his mayoral appeal
Somebody cares
Commissioner Johnson wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the stoop
No one was duped
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do those votes come from?
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do those votes belong?
It was many years ago today.
Mayor Daley taught the band to play.
And they’d all be playing still,
If Lightfoot hadn’t made them chill.
So may I introduce to you:
The end of civilization as we knew it.
