Billy was a young man shot down in his prime 
Jenny was the girl that Billy left behind 
Lying in an alleyway, blood pouring down the drain 
One for the cause, another link in the chain

Sad hollow faces lay Billy in the ground 
Hearts full of hatred, the killers must be found 
Eye for an eye now means two lives for one 
There's only one way if you live by the gun

And the fight goes on, battle to survive 
And the fight goes on only heroes die
They only die 

Listen to the wind call vengeance on the streets tonight 
Voices in the shadow drowned by a burst from an armelite 
Heaven's full of heroes - loyal to the end 
How many lives will it take to the bitter end, my friend?

And the fight goes on, battle to survive 
And the fight goes on only heroes die
They only die
