Rock at Billy |
There was a kid named Jim |
He always had a big old grin |
He was the biggest bully on the block |
He combed his hair just right |
Always looking for a fight |
Until the day he decided to throw that rock |
Billy was the picked on one |
One day he found a gun |
In the closet of his parents' messy bedroom |
He told his best friend Dunn |
All about the gun |
And said one day he’d have to kill big Jim |
Don’t mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he’s had it |
Since the fourth grade he’s had nothing else but sadness |
All the kids in the neighborhood have had it |
He’s seen their broken dreams |
He sees what killing means to them |
One day after school |
Out popped Mr. Cool |
And threw a rock straight at Billy’s head |
Billy reached into his bag |
Showed Jim what he had |
Pulled the trigger and shot big Jim dead |
Don’t mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he’s had it |
Since the fourth grade he’s had nothing else but sadness |
All the kids in the neighborhood have had it |
He’s seen their broken dreams |
He sees what killing means to them |
When the police came to the crime sight |
They found Billy with a grin a mile wide |
He’d wiped that look right off of Jim’s face and put it on his |
The next day Dunn went to the station |
He said, «Billy man you’re the reason, that all the kids can come out and play |
again without big Jim.» |
