Billy sits alone and wonders what to do and where to go,
|
Billy grows tired every day and meaning seems to fade away,
|
Billy knows he's not alone, he knows he's not to blame.
|
Others fear through ignorance,
|
And Billy's cared to stay among the whispers barely spoken,
|
Billy feels contempt, indignant words from hypocrites,
|
To them it's God's revenge.
|
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
|
Billy worked with other men, to them was once a lad.
|
When they learned of Billy's story, went behind his back,
|
Spread around the factory floor, then Billy got the sack,
|
Friends have washed their hands of Billy, he feels so betrayed.
|
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims
|
|
Billy's young and Billy's dying, fighting every day.
|
The few he trusts will give him strength, they will not walk away,
|
Love will never wash its hands, and never will betray,
|
Billy can't escape the truth, but he won't die alone.
|
|
No-one to blame, there's only victims. (To fade)
