WILLY (LYRICS)
Verse 1
Wicked Willy’s
on the loose again.
They were telling
all about him
on the news.
12 years in the cell
to make amends
for all the heartache
and pain
on his conscience.
He may be hoping
for a little too much
expecting to be accepted.
With his coercive
behavior in mind
he always will be rejected.
Chorus
Oh Willy, where do you go,
when no one will know of you?
It’s hurting you so.
No one believes in you.
Time is a healer, or so they say.
One must set an example.
Someone must
pay the price,
and you were the scapegoat
to be sacrificed.
You were fitting the profile,
and so the story goes.
Nobody knows.
Verse 2
Two long years
down the road
Still seeking for some
peace of mind.
Wherever he goes,
no company follows.
Yet there’s a feeling
someone’s behind.
For too long a time,
forever it seems.
Living eternally
in sinister dreams.
A life repenting
crimes he
never committed,
Still no one bothers
’bout the truth to find.
Chorus
Oh Willy, where do you go,
when no one will know of you?
It’s hurting you so.
No one believes in you.
Time is a healer,
or so they say.
One must set an example.
Someone must pay the price,
and you were the scapegoat
to be sacrificed.
You were fitting the profile,
and so the story goes.
Nobody knows.
