Текст песни Billy Green Is Dead - Gil Scott-Heron
Uh,
we'd
like
to
do
a
poem
called,
uh,
"Billy
Green
is
Dead"
And,
uh,
what
is
does
is
it
point
that,
um,
our
concern
is
still
rather
shallow
Our
community-mindedness,
our
community
orientation
toward
each
other
Is
still
not
what
it
should
be
This
is
called
"Billy
Green
is
Dead"
The
economy
is
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
Yea,
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
and
folks
was
dying
left
and
right
At
the
end,
when
Matt
was
cornered,
I
had
damn
near
give
up
hope
What,
you?
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
