I get by with a little help from my friends.

After Mayor Johnson defunded Sgt. Pepper, there wasn’t enough money left for uniforms for everyone.

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?

At least they didn’t make Brandon Johnson Ringo.

To Johnson’s chagrin, he was never able to obtain the crucial endorsement of Oscar Miller.

After the photo shoot, Senator Sanders invites the whole group to free soup, paid for by the taxpayers, of course.

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Caution: May contain subliminal messages if played backwards

Comment by Stuck in Celliniland Tuesday, Apr 4, 23 @ 1:36 pm
“If you play the last track backward, it says ‘Paul’s a Republican, miss him, miss him.’”

Comment by Benjamin Tuesday, Apr 4, 23 @ 2:00 pm
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.

And in the end, the votes you take, are equal to the spots you make.

Remember, multi tracking means you can’t reproduce it live.
