Billy left home one morning, he walked right out the door He said goodbye to his former life, and he never came back no more Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart Oh Billy...there's madness in your eyes He took his favourite handgun, with his rifle he felt free He cleaned them all the night before, he was armed as he could be Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart Oh Billy...there's sadness in your eyes 'Cos it's a sad world, where there's no one Who can reach out, to the source of your pain Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world When only peace comes, at the end of a gun Whoa...oh He found the tallest building, like a bird's nest in the sky He shed a tear as he took his aim, at the people pa**ing by Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart Oh Billy...there's sadness in your eyes Well it's a sad world, where there's no one Who can reach out, to the source of your pain Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world When only peace comes, at the end of a gun Whoa...oh Before he pulled the trigger, he knelt as if to pray And at the top of the church he will never be found Since he took his life that day Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart Ah Billy...there's sadness in your eyes 'Cos it's a sad world, where there's no one Who can reach out, to the source of your pain Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world When only peace comes, at the end of a gun Yes it's a sad world, when there's no one Who can hold you when you just need to cry And it's a sad sad world when there's no one Who would care if, if you live or you die And it's a sad world, such a sad sad world It's a sad world
