Written for John Lennon Dec 9 1980

Since way back when there's always been one
One meant for the crowd, one meant for the gun
No matter how much they've given or done
Before you and I there's always been one

If it isn't the father then make it the son
But sooner or later there's gonna be one
You never can tell until it is done
Before you and I there's always been one

It doesn't matter want they're saying
It doesn't matter what you're praying

Cause there's always been one trying to make it Okay
Whose given it all and been taken away
And just when you think the madness is done
Another one falls, cause there's always been one
Before you and I, there's always been one
