Generate meaning
1
Billy ran away from his home to find away to live in peace
2
His Mama didn't give a damn about him
3
His Papa's on the run from the Police
4
When Billy hit the city - the city hit Billy
5
No one needs you when your down and out
6
Then one kind guy with the painted eyes
7
Picked him up and bailed him out
8
Under one roof sharing one room
9
Nobody cared about them under one roof
10
Sharing one room daring the world to part them
11
Billy found it hard to find a job to make some pay
12
All day looking round
13
Getting me down I was being turned away
14
And Johnny was the only one who didn't talk down
15
To Billy from up above and for the first time in his life
16
Billy found out what it felt like to be loved.
17
Under one roof sharing one love
18
Nobody cared about them under one roof
19
Sharing one love daring the world to part them.
20
Somehow Billy's Papa found out all about the style of Billy's life
21
And it didn't take long before he came round and he had a knife
22
He cut up Johnny stole all his money
23
He called him all the names that he could find
24
Said he'd wait for Billy at the factory tomorrow
25
And show him what they do to Billy's kind.
26
Under one roof sharing on love
27
Now the whole world knew about them
28
Under one roof
29
Sharing one love daring the world to part them.
30
Johnny said 'Billy we can run away from the world no more
31
I'm gonna fetch my daddy
32
I'm gonna show the world who I'm living for and if I lose my job
33
If I lose my life you'll know one thing is true
34
He can take away anything from me
35
But he won't take me from you.
36
And at five thirty dead his daddy waited at the factory
37
For him to come and how it did degrade
38
Him he cut him and he slayed him
39
And spat on him in front of everyone
40
As Billy lay dying his Papa started crying
41
Because the parent through him he became
42
And all because the person who has the first to give him love
43
Had been a man.
