Billy Bold Lyrics

Born in the sight of a Liverpool dock
It weren't the call of the sea
Was the sound of poverty
So they write you down on their social list
Songs of war and girls that don't exist
And how you can't be free
Yesterday we were ten years old
Yesterday we were freezing cold
Yesterday you had us bought and sold but now
We are Billy Bold

Must we immigrate or stand and fight?
Troubled times we must unite
Let the chains that bind us be
There's no need to shout, everybody knows
It's wilted now, our English rose
Let's storm the last Bastille
For baton's hard and the dungeon's cold
You are black and white, young and old
Yesterday we did what we were told but know
We are Billy Bold
Yesterday we were ten years old
Yesterday we were freezing cold
Yesterday you had us bought and sold but now
We are Billy Bold
And you hear the drums they roll
Street war must take it's toll
But now we are Billy Bold
