Billy ran away from his home to find away to live in peace
   His Mama didn't give a damn about him
   His Papa's on the run from the Police
  
   When Billy hit the city - the city hit Billy
   No one needs you when your down and out
   Then one kind guy with the painted eyes
   Piked him up and bailed him out
  
   Under one roof sharing one room
   Nobody cared about them under one roof
   Sharing one room daring the world to part them
  
   Billy found it hard to find a job to make some pay
   AII day looking round
   getting me down I was being turned away
   And Johnny was the only one who didn't talk down
   To Billy from up above and for the first time in his life
   Billy found out what it felt like to be loved.
  
   Under one roof sharing one love
   Nobody cared about them under one roof
   Sharing one love daring the world to part them.
  
   Somehow Billy's Papa found out all about the style of Billy's life
   And it didn't take long before he came round and he had a knife
   He cut up Johnny stole all his money
   He called him all the names that he could find
   Said he'd wait for Billy at the factory tomorrow
   And show him what they do to Billy's kind.
  
   Under one roof sharing on love
   Now the whole world knew about them
   under one roof
   Sharing one love daring the world to part them.
  
   Johnny said 'Billy we can run away from the world no more
   I'm gonna fetch my daddy
   I'm gonna show the world who I'm living for and if I lose my job
   If I lose my life you'll know one thing is true
   He can take away anything from me
   But he won't take me from you.
  
   And at five thirty dead his daddy waited at the factory
   For himt o come and how it did degrade
   Him he cut him and he slayed him
   And spat on him in front of ev'ryone
   As Billy lay dying his Papa started crying
   Because the parent through him he became
   And all because the person who has the first to give him love
   Had been a man.
