[Originally by The Ruts]
Babylon is burning
You're burning the street
You're burning your houses
With anxiety
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
You're burning the street
You're burning the ghetto
With anxiety
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Can't you see?
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
You'll burn as you're work
You'll burn as you're play
Smouldering
With ignorance and hate
And with anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning, baby
Can't you see?
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is... burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
