Billy was a young man shot down in his prime Jenny was the girl that Billy left behind Lying in an alleyway, blood pouring down the drain One for the cause, another link in the chain Sad hollow faces lay Billy in the ground Hearts full of hatred, the k**ers must be found Eye for an eye now means two lives for one There's only one way if you live by the gun [Chorus:] And the fight goes on, battle to survive And the fight goes on only heroes die They only die Listen to the wind call vengeance on the streets tonight Voices in the shadow drowned by a burst from an armelite Heaven's full of heroes - loyal to the end How many lives will it take to the bitter end, my friend? [Chorus]
