Babylon

Take to the streets

Spread the word around

Politicians and priests

Are bringing us down

They have a list

Of do's and don'ts

They know all your wills and won'ts

Of course that's the way

That it's always been

It it's not illegal

Then it's a sin

Gotta keep us in line

With guilt

Looks as though we've

Finally built

[chorus:]

Babylon

Send you to school

Where you're carefully taught

Then control your every thought

Saying give us money

And we'll give you love

Send you all to heaven above

Teach you to be good

And to grow up strong

Nobody taught me how to get along

Stuff you full of things

Just to fill your head

But it does no good

When you end up dead in

[chorus:]

Babylon

For an unseen god you start a war

Burn a witch and kill the poor

I've had enough of telling lies

I've had enough of religious crimes

I don't need no reverend moon

I don't need no krishna too

No more kings will wear the crown

Now it's time to tear down

[chorus:]

Babylon
