Rock At Billy lyrics

There was a kid named Jim
he always had a big old grin
he was the biggest bully on the block
he combed his hair just right
always looking for a fight
until the day he decided to throw that rock

Billy was the picked on one
one day he found a gun
in the closet of his parents' messy bedroom
he told his best friend Dunn
all about the gun
and said one day he'd have to kill big Jim

Don't mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he's had it
since the fourth grade he's had nothing else but sadness
all the kids in the neighborhood have had it
he's seen their broken dreams
he sees what killing means to them.

One day after school
out popped Mr. Cool
and threw a rock straight at Billy's head.
Billy reached into his bag
showed Jim what he had
pulled the trigger and shot big Jim dead

Don't mess with Billy 'cause Billy says he's had it
since the fourth grade he's had nothing else but sadness
all the kids in the neighborhood have had it
he's seen their broken dreams
he sees what killing means to them.

When the police came to the crime sight
they found Billy with a grin a mile wide
he'd wiped that look right off of Jim's face and put it on his.
The next day Dunn went to the station.
He said, "Billy man you're the reason, that all the kids can come out and play again without big Jim."
