Billy is a man who let care slip from his clutch
He stares with the eyes of a man who's seen too much
His capital's gone, his dues are unpaid
His heart is surrounded with a barricade
He knows you don't need to be conscientious
At a masquerade
And he can't see light
Keeps his eyes shut tight
In search of a blissful ignorance
But he can't find peace
In a society that would reward him
