I used to be a guy, a guy you used to know
But then one day I went and disappeared
No one went out looking
No one saw that I was gone
I was just that guy with a beard
Yeah, I was just a no one
A no one with no name
A no one who did nothin’ at all
Who would ever miss me
Or wonder where I been
Or look behind that big black eight ball
Where have I gone, who really knows
Not even I can say for sure
Where have I gone, who really knows
It’s bound to be some place obscure
I used be a guy, a guy who had a home
Maybe I lived next door to you
But then they built it up
And they built it out
And then some suit said toodle-oo
Me I had no choices
No place that I could go
No place that I could call my home
So I wandered all about
And I wandered all around
I wandered wherever I could roam
I used to be a guy, a guy who had a name
But then that all got taken away
I was made to feel
Like I was less than junk
Pushed aside in a classic squeeze play
