Everyone And No One

Mothers dressed in the height of latest fashion,
White boys dreaming of five minutes of fame,
You tell me how your driven to distraction,
Everyone and no one is to blame.
I believed you when you told me you were lying,
How you were all so caught up in the game,
How your two-bit acquaintance was conspiring,
Everyone and no one is the same.
I made a formal complaint with the county,
I’m in too deep and going nowhere fast,
The dregs of society surround me,
Everyone and no one finish last.
Swamese and confidence men mingle,
Alcoholics stumble through the day,
A railroad man is tipping me single,
Everyone and no one has to pay.
Everyone and no one,
Everyone and no one,
Everyone and no one.
Clearly your daughter’s on the prowl,
Strange how she already flew the coop,
I saw her trading faces with a scoundrel,
Everyone and no one’s in the loop.
Suicidal middle shoolers,
Empathetic actors in the fray,
Soon to be charismatic rulers,
Everyone and no one says ok.
I brought used electronics to the factory,
I send a correspondence through the post,
I’m waiting but they haven’t gotten back to me,
Everyone and no one matter most.
But I’ve got whiskey and religion,
And you’ve got a piece of the pie,
But I’m telling you with tears and with conviction,
Everyone and no one wonders why.
Everyone and no one,
Everyone and no one,
Everyone and no one.
