Millie sits alone and wonders what to do, where to go Billy grows tired every day and meaning seems to fade away Billy knows he's all alone, he knows he's got to play Others fear through ignorance and Billy's scared to stay Among the whispers, barely spoken, Billy grows content Indignant, what's wrong if the threat's true, then it's God's revenge Long to hang as only victims, long to hang as only victims Billy worked with other men too, then was once a knight When they learned of Billy's story, went behind his back He's tied around the factory floor, then Billy got the sack Friends have washed their hands of Billy, he'd be so betrayed Long to hang as only victims, long to hang as only victims Long to hang as only victims, long to hang as only victims Billy's young and Billy's dying, fighting every day The duty of trust will give him strength, it will not walk away The law will never wash its hands and never will betray Billy can't escape the truth, but he won't die alone Long to hang as only victims, long to hang as only victims Long to hang as only victims, long to hang as only victims Long to hang as only victims, long to hang as only victims
