Lyrics

In a time between two wars
 When a slip could get you killed
 A man appeared with a master plan
 And they called him Wild Bill
 He talked you 'round in circles
 When he was done, yeah, you knew less
 And he started up the company1
 From what was left of the O.S.S.2
 Chorus:
 Wild Bill, Wild Bill
 The secrets that he'd hold
 Wild Bill, Wild Bill
 He slept out in the cold
 Now he was there in '45
 When the good war had wound down
 The enemy had all been caught
 But some could not be found
 The price of information
 Sometimes takes a sacrifice
 A secret traded for a life
 But someone pays the price
 Chorus repeat
 The world was on fire for Bill
 He had to take control
 The enemy was close at hand
 The tanks were told to hold
 But deep inside Bill's massive head
 A master plan did bloom
 Buy the information out
 By sellin' a brand new tune
 Chorus repeat
