Lonely Crowd

[Intro]
Faces in the shadows
Eyes upon the stage
Appear to be watching
Yet totally disengaged

A thousand voices
But nobody speaks
… still searching
For something they can’t reach

[Verse 1]
Standing in a room
That’s filled with sound
But there’s no people
No, no one around

You raise your voice
You make your case
But indifference
Takes its place

[Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd

Dwindling
(Due to hindering)
The ability
(… to be free)

[Verse 2]
No crowd did gather
No crowd to cheer
But still are frightened
Of what they hear

[Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd

Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)

Forever dwindling
(Due to hindering)
Their ability
(… to be free)

[Bridge]
Are you listening?
(Or just waiting?)
Are you thinking?
(Or debating?)
Are you speaking?
(Or retreating?)
Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)

[Instrumental Break]
(Alone in a crowd…)
(Screaming out loud…)
(Anybody listening?)
(Anybody now?)

Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)

[Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd

Dwindling
(Due to hindering)
The ability
(… to be free)

[Final Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd

Still listening
(Still questioning)
The ability
(… to be free)

[Outro]
Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)

When you scream out loud…
(Who hears you now?)

A lonely crowd…

About the Song
On multiple occasions, Trump delivered speeches to audiences consisting almost entirely of journalists. He has also been seen saluting and waving to people who weren’t even there.


Trump speaking to an apparently empty audience
Speaking to an audience that never showed up?

Trump saluting toward an apparently empty space
Saluting someone who isn’t there?
