Tim Kimber - Billy Was A Bully Lyrics

Billy was a bully
Back when we were in school
He and his disciples got
A's in cruel
Every day was a night mare
To those that he chose
I was often hiding scared
Didn't want another bloody nose

Billy Billy why are you that way
Somebody badders gonna come along and
Make you pay
Billy oh Billy why are you that way
Life is gonna teach you there's
A better way

One day I walked by
Ol Billys house
Saw him creeping round
Quiet as a mouse
Johnny was a bully
And he was Billy's dad
He took out his anger and
Beat Billy bad

Johnny Johnny why are you that way
Somebody badder didn't come along and
Make you pay
Johnny oh Johnny why are you that way
Life never taught you that
There was a better way
Billy was a killer
He beat a man to death
That man was his daddy
And he said under his breath
Daddy I'm so sorry
I learned this way from you
I couldn't take it anymore
Didn't know what else to do

Daddy Daddy why were you that way
Somebody badder did come along and
Made you pay
Daddy oh Daddy why were you that way
I truly wish for both of us there'd
Been another way

Twenty years have gone by now and
Billy did his time
Making the best of it
Out of the hole he climbed
He's a father now and husband too
Turned his life around
No way he's going back
Lives on solid ground

Billy Billy you found a better way
You broke the chains that bound you
Now it's a brand new day
Billy oh Billy your futures looking bright
You left that darkness in the rear
You're walking in the light
