Lyrics
Little Billy walked out
In the traffic with his mother
He clutched a purple lollipop in one hand
And his mom's hand in the other
Somehow the two got separated
Billy wandered off from mama's keeping
Some speeding driver failed to notice
Pushing Billy into sleeping
"And isn't it just horrible" we say
"When did the world become like it is today
It's a shame we can't make it go away"
We all watched little Billy from our distant windows
On the 32nd floor
Hands over our mouths, we were paralyzed
We wouldn't even open our doors
"Isn't it just horrible" we say
"When did the world become like it is today
It's a shame we can't make it go away"
But as much as we complain
We're completely entertained
Someone will come help him
We affirmed ourselves and waited there to see
The mother's cries shot up to heaven
While the deaf masses walked the streets
"Isn't it just horrible" we say
"When did the world become like it is today
It's a shame we can't make it go away"
But as much as we complain
We're completely entertained
If you're not part of the solution
Then you're part of the audience
If we stay far enough away
They can't use our prints as evidence
Well I'm never gonna win the peace prize
And I guess that that's okay
It's not really worth the peace prize
If I gotta go out of my way
