Lyrics
Goodbye Babylon
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.
Well I came to see,
And what I found was not alright with me
Desperation, suffocation,
And it'd been the same thing all along
Goodbye Babylon,
Goodbye Babylon,
Goodbye Babylon,
Now I know times are changin',
And the people need rearrangin'
So now, it's written here in song
Goodbye Babylon,
Goodbye Babylon,
Goodbye Babylon,
Goodbye...
Now our boys...they're fallin',
Our leaders are all appalling,
And you can bet by God,
Good will is gone,
Goodbye Babylon,
Goodbye Babylon,
Oh, goodbye Babylon,
Goodbye Babylon, hey.
