Victims |
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 it’s 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) |
