babylon control

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It seems the louder we're singing

The less they're hearing

Babylon has got them so mindless

They can't see Armageddon is near

I try to shake them to wake them

But they say they'd rather be sleeping

So don't be surprised

If my eyes can't disguise

That inside my spirit is weeping

I dreamt last night that the end had come

I was searching everywhere for food but there was none

Bodies laying burned in the midday Sun

Nowhere to hide

Nowhere to run

I went to the city but the city was gone

Irradiated with hatred and destroyed by a bomb

Behold the brilliant colors of the nuclear dawn

But there is no song

All has gone wrong

And when I awoke I could clearly see

The seeds of this vision Jah had given me

Planted deep within these aristocracies

Hypocrisy

Power and greed

So wake up to the fact that they're controlling you

Whether or not your doing what you want to do

The system that you're living in is doomed

Jah knows it's true and

I man I know it's true

And I'm just telling you this

Because I love you breddren

Through and through I man true until the very end

The sweeter the kiss

The stronger the poison

And this is the reason that I idrens

Are dying for nothing

It's Babylon control

It's Hollywood mind control

They target the youth

I'll show you the proof

Come on see the truth

It's written on I man soul

A Rasta man soul

It's news media control

Political mind control

Get under your skin

They're wearing you thin

But you no give in

For not all that glitter is gold

And in my vision I saw incurable disease

Genetically engineer by hateful enemies

All of this in the name of power and money

How could this be

The future for we?

The green and mighty forests of the Amazon

The lush valleys of Hawai'I are dead and gone

The once abundant and fertile land of Babylon

Now sand and stone

Stripped to the bone

Oh come quickly

They're taking away our paradise

Separating us from the source all lives

Poisoning the seas and polluting the skies

Ignoring the cries

Promoting the lies

So now that this vision has come into your life

I hope you will take up your part in the fight

Against those who seek to turn our day into night

You know it's right

So stand up and fight

And I'm just telling you this

Because I love you my sistren

Through and through I man true until the very end

The sweeter the kiss

The stronger the poison

And this is the reason that I idrens

Are dying for nothing

It's Babylon control

It's Hollywood mind control

They target the youth

I'll show you the proof

Come on see the truth

It's written on I man soul

A Rasta man soul

It's news media control

Political mind control

Get under your skin

They're wearing you thin

But you no give in

For not all that glitter is gold

For I have been fooled before

But now I 'n' I know

The difference between believing in what I man feel

And believing in what I been told

'Cause their propaganda it burns like wildfire

They use it to turn brother against brother

It's Babylon control

It's Hollywood mind control

They target the youth

I'll show you the proof

Come on see the truth

It's written on I man soul

Rasta man soul

It's news media control

Political mind control

Get under your skin

They're wearing you thin

But no be victim in this empire

Of glittering fool's gold now
