Artist/Band: Bad Religion
Lyrics for Song: Billy
Lyrics for Album: No Control [1989]



I can recall the warm youth

of a summer day, yeah

The sweetest lemonade,

the darkest game arcade

And Billy had a yearning

in the corner of his mind, yeah

It moved him secretly

It moved him powerfully



But prescience was lacking

and the present was not all

And his aptitudes were carelessly wasted

And challenging life with the abandon of a fool

He squandered the hours of his day...



Then darkness and disorder

slapped him sharply in the face, yeah

It hit him like a friend, struck something deep within

He couldn't break the chain of

slow decay that seemed to drag him

Just like a fatal tie toward the other side



And Billy was a lunatic just barking at the moon

And his brain was totally wasted.

He then exchanged his friends

for a needle and a spoon

And he threw his future away...



Bolt the door and throw away the key, yeah

Your dim reflection is all that you can see.



So where is the justice when no one is at fault

And a human life is tragically wasted?

How fragile is the flame that burns within us all

To light each passing day, yeah?!
