Verse
AI Gcan recall the warm youth of a summer day, yeah
FThe Gsweetest lemonade, the darkest game arcade,
AAnd GBilly had a yearning in the corner of his mind.
FIt Gmoved him secretly. It moved him powerfully.
Chorus
FBut CpreGsciAence was lacking and the present was not all
FAnd Chis Gaptitudes were carelessly wasted.
FAnd CchalGlenAging life with the abandon of a fool
FHe GsquanAdered the hours of his day.

Verse
Then darkness and disorder slapped him sharply in the face, yeah.
It hit him like a friend, struck something deep within.
He couldn't break the chain of slow decay that seemed to drag him
Just like a fatal tie toward the other side.
Chorus
And Billy was a lunatic, just barking at the moon,
And his brain was totally wasted.
He then exchanged his friends for a needle and a spoon
And he threw his future away.

Chorus
FSo Cwhere Gis Athe justice when no one is at fault
FAnd Ca Ghuman life is tragically wasted?
FHow CfraGgile Ais the flame that burns within us all
FTo Glight Aeach passing day?
