The Richest Man In 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.

There is no quidance in your kingdom

Your wicked walk in Babylon

There is no wisdom to your freedom

The richest man in babylon

Your beggars sleep outside your doorway

Your prophets leave to wonder on

You fall asleep at night with worry

The saddest man in Babylon

The wicked stench of exploitation

Hangs in the air and lingers on

Beneath the praise and admiration

The weakest man in Babylon

There is no hope left in your kingdom

Your servants have burned all their songs

Nobody here remembers freedom

The richest man in Babylon

Babylon gon' be rich again

But to we don' sick again

But no we no weak again

Babylon

Si la loo babylon come 'round

You better know you better understand

'Fact you know you better hear what they say

Babylon this is your final day

Babylon this is your final call

Read the writin' it's on the wall

Said United we stand

And together we fall

And if I know that

You're not 'gon catch me in a rat pack

We not go fallin' on your death trap

No way
