Loner




This by ere, below like, is a bastardised version of 'Dreamer' by Supertramp
used to question the term 'Loner' as if that in itself was a criminal offence.

In an alienating world, how do you stop yourself from becoming a loner?


Loner, you know you are a loner
When you turn your back on the world, oh no!
I said loner, you're nothing but a loner
The Western Mail says "You're a Loner" twice!
despite having a partner and two kids
You know, well you know, you had it comin' to you
Now, there's not a lot I can do
Loner, you person who prefers their own company
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no
I said, "go out, try and mingle, network a little"
You know, well you know, they had it in for you 
having been force-fed garbage by mainstream media 
If you'd been a sassy, sociable, people person
this wouldn't have happened
Oh ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
they will see anything they want to boy
they will not see that you were a desperate boy, best not celebrate boy
the right wing extremist propaganda turned your head the wrong way boy
Take a payday loan on a sunday
Don't take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a loner
Lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone along
Loner, lone and lone along
C'mon and lone, lone along (come along)
(C'mon and lone, lone along)
na na na na na na na na
Loner, you know you are a loner (c'mon and lone and lone along)
Can you put your head in your hands, oh no! (c'mon and lone and lone along)
I said Loner, you're nothing but a loner (c'mon and lone and lone along)
Can you put your head in your hands, oh no! (oh, come on, oh, come on)
Oh no

A Bastardised Version of the Supertramp Song 'Dreamer'
to try and highlight the fact that it isn't yet a crime to be a loner.
In Solitude there is Strength 🦈
