Billy

A child
Had the world within his hands
He was a dreamer

But the numb heads told him no
He wouldn't make it on his own
Now he's one of them

Alright

All us people
Are ruining this world
We're driving each other mad

We keep on crushing destroying
We're making our way
To a slow and painful end

A child
He was in a rocking band
Just looking for a chance
To make it

Ambition filled his head
Then the people shot it dead
Now he's a cashier

Yeah

It's up to us now
To save the world we're in
We're tearing it all apart

It's up to us now
To stop the bleeding
We've got to stop this
Slow and painful end

Another child
He's in a rocking band
Doing everything he can
To blaze his own trail

That kid became a man
Still in that rocking band
Now he's showing the world
That it can be done

Oh

It's up to us now
To spread the love we seek
Let's follow our dreams
And have true identity

We are the people
We hold this universe
In the palm of our hand
