billy seems to be under the impression that by telling the truth, you can rectify a situation that has gone terribly awry. I know this is untrue, i've tried it several times.

THEY KNOW, I KNOW THAT THEY KNOW. THEY KNOW EVERYTHING; THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL THEM AND IT HAS NOT HELPED A SINGLE BIT, NOT AN OUNCE, THAT THEY KNOW.

I wish i hadn't told them at all. i wish i could take everything back and start all over again. I wish i could kiss like sparkles and fireworks would go off when our tongues touched, and I bet you like fireworks, right? You'd kiss me all the time to have them go off, it would be quite a finale for a show if we did...You would wear my kisses proudly like a badge and I would smile because there is only such beautiful magic between you and I...

There is something I think you should know...I think I should tell you...I could kiss you in a place where it will get you in trouble...We shall see, my grasshopper. Get pants that fit you.

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you swore
The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth
