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 killers must be found

Eye for an eye now means two lives for one

There's only one way if you live by the gun

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?

And the fight goes on, battle to survive

And the fight goes on only heroes die

They only die
