Five-lane highway danger zone

SUV and a speaker phone

You need that chrome to get you home

Doin' time in Babyion

Cluster mansion on the hill

Another day in Pleasantville

You don't like it take a pill

Doin1 time in Babyion

In the land of the proud and free

You can sell your soul and your dignity

For fifteen minutes on TV

Doin'time in Babyion

So suck the fat, cut the bone

Fill it up with silicone

Everybody must get cloned

Doin' time in Babyion

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn

The crows are in the corn

The morning sky is red and falling down

The piper's at the till

He's coming for the kill

Luring all our children underground in Babyion

We came frorn apple pie and mom

Thru Civil Rights and Ban the Bomb

To Watergate and Vietnam Hard times in Babyion

Rallied 'round the megaphone

Gave it up, just got stoned

Now it's Prada, Gucci and Perron

Doin' time in Babyion

Get results, get 'em fast

We're ready if you got the cash

Someone else will be laughin' last

Doin' time in Babyion

So put that conscience on the shelf

Keep the best stuff for yourself

Let the rest fight over what is left

Doin' time in Babyion

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn

The crows are in the corn

The morning sky is red and falling down

Let your song of healing spark

A way out of this dark

Lead us to a higher and a holy ground
