Lyric discussion by Vague Rant 

Cover art for Billy's Genes lyrics by Everybody Was in the French Resistance... Now!

A response to the Michael Jackson hit, "Billie Jean", in which a man denies a crazed woman is his lover and that her child is his. It includes lines referring to advice not to "go around breaking young girls' hearts." In "Billy's Genes", that child has grown up and discovered who his father was, and roundly criticises his behaviour of breaking hearts and homes.
