[Intro: Talib Kweli *over hook*]
11
Yeah I like to go out to clubs
12
Las Palmas, you know
13
Cheetahs, Envy if I wanna get grimey wit' it at
14
Bungalow Eight
15
Opium down in Miami
16
But when I walk in, I look around and I think..
17
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
18
Yo, I'm headin' out, 'bout to do some flesh and now
19
I know my flesh endowed with somethin' to prove
20
I'm settin' out on a trip to Heaven's mount
21
Yeah, I'm steppin' out in the name of love
22
Who knew the Devil could slow dance?
23
We have pathological romances with technological advance
24
Infatuated with infatuation and
25
Intellectual masturbation with premature ejaculation
26
Make a baby mama's all bastardization and
27
Lonely people all through the city
28
They club hoppin' and they love shoppin' and they thug posturin'
29
Thugs be lockin' horns with Crips on them drug blocks
30
And them dollars flow right out of the 'hood
31
When you tryin' to make paper out of the wood
32
You know that money don't grow on trees
33
For paper people change colors like leaves
34
And they fall off in the mud like a filthy pig
35
Makin' you and your dogs who store all call off
36
That much deserved ass whippin'
37
He snitchin', he twitchin', he bitchin', he all soft
38
Never work with his hands
39
Little kid on the block who always ran
40
At all costs, gotta be in the club
41
Lookin' for happiness or the meaning of love
42
Then it hit him, out the blue like a vision
43
All of a sudden he don't like the way he been livin'
44
And wanna be forgiven
45
How I know? Cuz I'm right there wit' him
46
Yo, yo
47
[Hook: The Beatles sample (Michelle Williams)]
48
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
49
(oh)
50
All the lonely people, where do they all belong? (oh)
51
I look at all the lonely people (I look at all the
52
lonely people)
53
I look at all the lonely people (oh I look at all)
54
[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
55
Tattoos tell 'em who you are
56
Plastic surgery cause your tired of god
57
Uh, lasers to remove the scar
58
And then you are, you a supastar, supastar
59
It's your birthday and you in the club
60
Talkin' "Holla back" and "Nigga what"
61
So much cleavage and asscrack
62
If pussy were a stock it would plummet on the Nasdaq
63
Blank stares like nobody care
64
In a room so exclusive nobody there
65
But really, truth is that nobody there
66
Cuz it's feelings inside that nobody share
67
I want God to smile on me
68
But see, fame is a drug and you wild on E
69
Celebrities decorated like Christmas trees
70
Got complex like they want a Christmas Eve
71
Sing a song to yourself and you stand alone
72
Get nominated for a gold gramophone
73
Walk the red carpet, left your man at home
74
Security snatchin' people camera phones
75
You got rose gold yellow bottles, pink Cashmere
76
So ahead of the trend, that's so last year
77
Last month, last day, last hour, last minute
78
Your pursuit of crew is so passionate
79
do this cash in it, laugh in his face
80
If it's def or anybody who don't stay in his place
81
So popular can't go no where, folks stoppin' ya
82
Might want to check a thermometer
83
When you go to a room heat rises
84
Surrounded by people still lonely, that's why you need disguises
85
Well, Probably
86
[Hook: The Beatles sample (Michelle Williams)]
87
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
88
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
89
I look at all the lonely people (I look at all the
90
lonely people)
91
I look at all the lonely people (yeah)

96
I look at all the lonely people
