[00:00.000] Uh, we’d like to do a poem called
[00:01.725] Uh, "Billy Green Is Dead,"
[00:03.086] And, uh, what it does is point out that
[00:07.090] Um, our concern is still rather shallow
[00:10.638] Our community-mindedness
[00:12.719] Our community orientation
[00:14.128] Toward each other is still not what it should be
[00:16.151] This is called "Billy Green Is Dead."
[00:28.747] The economy is in an uproar
[00:30.578] The whole damn country’s in the red
[00:32.611] Taxi fares are going up
[00:34.506] You say, "Billy Green is dead?”
[00:36.986] The government can't decide on bussing
[00:38.905] Or at least that’s what they said
[00:40.882] Yeah, I heard you when you told me
[00:42.905] You said Billy Green was dead
[00:45.058] But let me tell you ‘bout these hot-pants
[00:47.312] That this big-legged sister wore
[00:49.181] When I partied with the Alphas—what?!
[00:51.626] Billy took an overdose?
[00:53.342] Well now, junkies will be junkies
[00:55.584] But did you see Gunsmoke last night?
[00:57.543] Man, they had themselves a shootout
[00:59.497] And folks was dying left and right
[01:01.671] At the end when Matt was cornered
[01:03.685] I had damn near give up hope
[01:05.836] What, you?! Why you keep on interrupting me?
[01:07.867] You say my son is taking dope?
[01:10.133] Call the law and call the doctor
[01:12.042] What you mean I shouldn't scream?
[01:13.871] My only son is taking dope?
[01:15.915] Should I sit here like I'm pleased?
[01:18.223] Is that familiar anybody?
[01:20.115] Check out what’s inside your head
[01:22.209] Because it never seems to matter
[01:24.294] When it's Billy Green who's dead
