I gave a dollar to Billy one night on the street/He had nowhere to live, he had little to eat/He said "I fought in the highlands in Vietnam/Let me tell you son I was an army man"/THEY DON'T CARE/ABOUT YOU/
THEY USED HIM/THEY'LL USE YOU/ They'll send you to wallow in misery and pain/Ducking and shooting till you're dead or insane/They'll make you fight for the rich and if you ever get back/They don't give a fuck if you slip through the cracks/THEY DON'T CARE/Billy wasn't drunk, I smelled no beer in his throat/He was a handsome black man in an Army coat/He said "I fought in the highlands in Vietnam/And let me tell you son they don't give a damn"/THEY DON'T CARE/From the first war to the Gulf War, it's always been the same/500 million Billy's, it's a fucking shame/It's them that gets the spoils and it's you that foots the bills/THE RICH JUST GET RICHER AND THE POOR JUST GET KILLED/THEY DON'T CARE
