She's scared, he's home again
Like in a war she makes her plan
But no matter what she will try

He's drunk and he's mad
About something she never said
To him all she says is a lie

But she didn't speak at all
She really needs to make a call
Call out to someone for protection

Billy broke a bottle again
Alcohol makes him a man
Billy broke a bottle again
He treats her like a garbage can

Billy broke a bottle again
Alcohol makes him a man
Billy broke a bottle again
No job, no goal, no single plan

She's hurt, she wants to leave
How could she ever be so naive?
His promise broke in two again

Years go by, all stays the same
He's the devil but she's to blame
Her fire of life reduced to a flame

Billy, big boy Billy
Hey Billy, why don't you just get a life?
Instead of beating the shit out of your wife
