Lonely People

LONELY PEOPLE - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's a long way from the Ritz to Cleveland Avenue

From the red carpet to a cracked sidewalk or two

Rich or poor doesn't matter anymore

Everybody hangs themselves out to dry

Lonely people all over the world

Only live to die

The liquor stores are lined up like ducks in a row

The neon signs shoot electricity through their bones

Alcohol or drugs will always be fine

Nobody clings as hard as they do to the vines

Lonely people all over the world 

Only live to die

You can break it down all that you want

The truth remains what the numbers claim

You can say it's all just a fraud

Lonely people don't have a name

You can break it down like a punk

The facts will simply illuminate

Take what you learned and run

Lonely people don't want a name

  

There never seems to be enough time to fill the day

Personal neglect of medical health slips away

Make it or break doesn't fly anymore

Everybody works for the same piece of pie

Lonely people all over the world

Only live to die

You can break it down all that you want

The truth remains what the numbers claim

You can say it's all just a fraud

Lonely people don't have a name

You can break it down like a punk

The facts will simply illuminate

Take what you learned and run

Lonely people don't want a name

It's a long way from the Ritz to Cleveland Avenue

From the red carpet to a cracked sidewalk or two

Rich or poor doesn't matter anymore

Everybody hangs themselves out to dry

Lonely people all over the world

Only live to die
