Say me no like that kind of Babylon
Say me no dig them kind of wicked men
For me no find no righteousness
All I see is dread dread wickedness
Everybody beat down Babylon
Everybody whip them wicked men
Whip them, whip them
Oh what a wicked situation
Must we all die for salvation
This may cause a revolution
Plenty dangerous pollution Everybody beat down Babylon
Everybody whip them wicked men
Whip them, whip them
Never turn your back on them people
Never let them know what you're doing
