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.
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.
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?

Donnez-moi le monde un jour
Et tout ce qu’il faut pour
Écrire une chanson
Donnez-moi des choses à dire
À ceux qui vont souffrir
Pendant que nous dansons

Give me the world for one day
And all i need to
Write a song
Give me things to say
To those who will suffer
While we’re dancing
Toi qui habite mon coeur
Pour doubler mon bonheur
Il suffirait demain
Que ce monde en déchirure
Pour guérir ses blessures
Se trouve un magicien

You that lives inside my heart
To double my happiness
It would enough tomorrow
That this world torn away
To heal its wounds
Find itself a magician
Billy pourvu que tu m’aimes
Que mon nom s’enroule à ton nom
Si les gens s’aiment
Comme nous nous aimons
Les magiciens reviendront

Billy as long as you love me
That my name coils around your name
If people love each other
Like we love each other
The magicians will come back
Je suis née près de la source
Et j’ai vu la grande ourse
Au ciel de ma maison
J’ai rencontré des bergers
Qui m’ont fait voyager
Bien plus que de raison

I was born near the spring
And i saw the great bear
At the sky of my house
I met with shepherds
Who made me travel
Much more than reason
Et s’il existe là-bas des coins
Où quelques fois les déserts ont fleuri
C’est que tout est dans nos mains
Et que l’on ne peut rien pour arrêter la vie

And if it still exists out there some places
Where sometimes deserts turned into flowers
That’s because everything is in our hands
And that we can’t do a thing to stop life
Billy pourvu que tu m’aimes
Que mon nom s’enroule à ton nom
Si les gens s’aiment
Comme nous nous aimons
Les magiciens reviendront

Billy as long as you love me
That my name coils around your name
If people love each other
Like we love each other
The magicians will come back
Donnez-moi le monde un jour
Et tout ce qu’il faut pour
Écrire une chanson
Donnez-moi des choses à dire
À ceux qui vont souffrir
Pendant que nous dansons

Give me the world for one day
And all i need to
Write a song
Give me things to say
To those who will suffer
While we’re dancing
S’il y a des faiseurs de pluie
On peut trouver aussi
Des faiseurs de beau temps
Donnez-leur le monde un jour
Et vous verrez que l’amour
Ça peut durer longtemps

If there still are rain makers
We can also find
Beautiful days makers
Give them the world for a day
And you’ll see that love
Can last long
Billy pourvu que tu m’aimes
Que mon nom s’enroule à ton nom
Si les gens s’aiment
Comme nous nous aimons
Les magiciens reviendront

Billy as long as you love me
That my name coils around your name
If people love each other
Like we love each other
The magicians will come back

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 passing
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

We interrupt this program to bring you a special report
We are looking for a man named billy
Who has just been accused for use of fake credit cards;
Use of ups trucks; and trying to sell crack
To an undercover token clerk
What is this world coming to? well i’ll tell you

Yeahhh his name is billy
Now let me tell you about this guy right here
Bust it

A brainiac, con artist to the ‘t’
Able to geese, you and me
Talks like a psychotic pimp, walks with a limp..
.. but he’s a wimp!
Mastermind of the computer world, he lives
With his wife and a cute little girl
Now this is the story of a family
And the man of the family, huh, his name was billy

"yeah you know that guy named billy
He was always conning somebody
He was always getting away with murder word"

His name was billy!

"he tried to have moet tossin olde e money

To make that money real quick – well i got an idea
"so what’s the idea?" computer chip!
Here’s a job, some numbers, two credit cards
We’ll split it even, but here’s the odds
Twenty to one, who’s harry crumb?
He’s a big fat man which he carries a fat gun
Now billy, a smooth operator
Sneaks out his door, a to the elevator
Gets on the sixth, and gets off on the fifth
Then heads out the building with
His little pocket knife in his hand
Show em you’re a man billy.. understand?
A few people try to mug him, crack dealers love him
Delivery boys think highly of him
United parcel, very colossal.. uh!
Sometimes he get a bit hostile
Don’t even care, if people stare
He gets his package look around, then he’s outta there!
Well a-nother day, a-nother dollar
Don’t wanna do it, boy but he’s gotta
A diamond to sell, three point one carat
"so what he did?" sold it to the first floor faggot
No real money, one and a third
But the brother’s gonna get, as high as a bird
Bell bottoms, yes the man invented the slacks
Old fashioned turn them naked pointy shoes with spats
He got the limp to his walk, hat cocked just right
Walkin down the block, lookin like, willy dynamite!
This man is amazing, he does a lot
He can tell you what he can do, and what he can not
He get you radios or tv’s, clocks and beds
He’s gettin, twenty to life once he’s caught by the feds
His name was billy

"yeah my man went and got her credit card
Bought my man a pathfinder jeep, word up
I ain’t actin like we ain’t been down
Knahmsayin? he never get love from me
Always tryin to con me but i ain’t goin for it
Word" break it down!

"tell em what you want kid capri"

Man i need a vcr, really (really, really)
I thought you was going to lookout, billy
You told me to be here six o’clock
By that time, you said you’d be ready to make the drop
Well i guess you’re fronting again
When you gonna be on the up and up my friend?
You keep conning, you better chill!
Cause a brother like me will squeal.. on billy!

"he did it, he did it!
Word up man i’m squealing on him man
He tried to front on the kid capri, word"

Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And i thought our friendship would never end

In high school he played football
And me, i didn’t do anything at all
He made touch-downs, while i played pool
And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool

Then we both went to collage
He studied medicine while i studied foliage
He got a’s and i got d’s
He was going for his ph.d.
Then i decided to drop out
Things were getting a little too hot
Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, i was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so

When he came back, he wasn’t quite the same
His nerves were shot, but not me
Last time i saw him, i couldn’t take it anymore
He wasn’t the billy i knew, it was like talking to a door

Billy was a friend of mine
I grew up with him ever since i was nine
We went together through school
And now i often wonder, which one of us was the fool

I know little billy from the small time town
Ma and pa meant well but they just weren’t around
But he would learn what little they had taught
They told him, heaven is hard but hell is not

He remembers papa’s words before he died
He said, word hard son, you must change the tide
Before our people have liberation, you can never rest
On your shoulders, lies our future boy, so do your best
Do more than your best

Never forgot the burden of his father’s words
He lost his own life and lived the world’s
No one told billy theres somethings one man just can’t do
Takes time to forgive and equality to take more before it’s through
Just takes time

But still billy went down to the big time town
Hoping to find some justice there,
But god how it all seems cynical through the eyes of despair
He no longer saw in color, he only saw black and white
There were never people behind thses faces
Until he realized one man can’t win
Can’t win this fight

So billy went back to small time town
He got a life and he settled down
He teaches children who never really thought
He told them, heaven is hard and hell is
Heaven is hard and hell is
Hell is not worth fighting for.
