paroles de chanson Billy Green Is Dead (Alt) - Gil Scott-Heron

This is called, uh, "Billy Green is Dead"
Um, it, it, it might get into a few people
You know, who, who always running up to you
Talking 'bout, "Brother, this and brother, that"
Because, uh, like it shows that our centers of concern
Are still not as universal
And as community-minded and oriented as they should be
This is "Billy Green is Dead"
The economy's in an uproar
The whole damn country's in the red
Taxi fares are going up
You say, "Billy Green is dead?"
The government can't decide on busing
Or at least that's what they said
Yeah, I heard you when you told me
You said, "Billy Green was dead"
But let me tell you 'bout these hot-pants that this big-legged sister wore
When I partied with the Alphas—what?
Billy took an overdose?
Well now, junkies will be junkies
But did you see Gunsmoke last night?
Man, they had themselves a shootout that was really outta sight
At the end, when Matt was cornered, I had damn near give up hope
Why you keep on interrupting me?
You say my son is taking dope?
Call the law and call the doctor!
What you mean I shouldn't scream?
My only son is taking dope?
Should I sit here like I'm pleased?
Is that familiar, anybody?
Check out what's inside your head
Because it never seems to matter
When it's Billy Green who's dead
That's called "Billy Green is Dead" uh
