You Don’t Want To Be A Nobody!!https://youtu.be/b9UuCO-Z-ccYou don’t want to be a nobody a body no one wants to know they litter the streets everywhere they have no place to go some survive in cardboard boxes sharing corrugated grief making dinners out of dumpsters when hunger begs them for relief You will find them haunting barrooms toasting their sorrow in the gloom seeking temporal anesthesia and a barfly’s sweet perfume Squatting in abandoned buildings clutching needles that need filling heating spoons they fill with poison addiction leaves no other options standing on a rooftops edge trying to find some courage dredged Like Gargoyles or death’s disciples Their autopsies marked suicidal. Popularity demands so much more then some can give when they fail to meet it’s standards society seldom forgives. We are all one step away from winding up as no one Lose your job till bills pile high then eviction papers come They might offer unemployment meager checks that don’t come close to the style of living you are used too as you join the poorer folks some just turn to lives of crime desperation leaves no room when your family needs feeding busted you face prisons gloom. It’s the way the world has been ever since mankind began the wealthy thrive, the needy suffer from haves, have nots and also ran’s You don’t want to be a nobody a body no one wants to know Keep a tight reign on your lifestyle it can vanish quick, you know I have lived for weeks inside my car that wouldn’t run at all shivering on a vinyl backseat when poverty it came to call I was lucky I found labor worked my fingers to the bone seven days twelve hour shifts till I could afford a home. Being a nobody comes with choices that you have to make just get high and live in squalor or find a harder road to take. There are not that many options when you’ve hit the bottom rung It requires starting over fight back hard or you’ll be done. being nobody is not fun. and if you pass one on the street with a tin cup in their hand don’t stroll by ignoring them someday you might be that man’ we should all give what we can we should all give what we can!!

Hi Matt, I would say this is very nice but it's not, nor was it meant to be. Well done! Lots of us could be "Nobodies". My older brother was one for a while when the love of his life broke him, in more ways than one. Here is one you may like, lyrics on the page: https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=4215412

Hey John, Thanks so much for your compassionate comment. the song is not nice...but being a nobody is never nice, and they are so damned ignored. Perhaps a touch of hard enlightenment might sway the masses. One can only hope. My son is currently a nobody...sadly for me. In jail for a long time and then into rehab for even longer and then either a former nobody manning up and tackling life with a fresh start or just an addicted nobody again. I wait and hope and know there are only two ways to go.I am checking out your song as soon as I am one with this comment.

Hi Matt. Couldn't listen because the Tube is asking me to sign in as the content may not be suitable for under aged folk. I'll take their word for it. True words though.

Hey Vicarn, No problem. I am sending you to Soundcloud. You can hear the song there. Thanks so much for your comment and your interest. I had to make all of my songs on youtube Age restricted because i can't open the site where i can label what songs are written for children...because of some new FCC law. Sorry bout that.
