Babylon |
Babylon |
Is represented in the Bible by a stone |
Babylon |
Is thrown in a river and lost in a storm |
Babylon |
And never, never, ever again |
Will anybody ever wanna call you they home |
This is how you’re gonna sink, now |
I don’t care whatever you may think, now |
I’m gonna bring my wrath down on you, now |
So you’ll feel the weight of truth, now |
Gonna drop you like a rock of ages in the sea |
And disappear like a pebble in eternity |
Nobody wants to save what’s best left dead |
A tidal wave is gonna dig your grave |
Babylon |
Never ever again will you ever hear |
The sweet sound of no beautiful singer’s voice |
No angels playing guitars |
Or plucking on they harps |
No flutes, no trumpet players |
Will be left back of Bouchon |
Ain’t gonna be no ditch diggers, no construction workers |
No pimps, no hustlers, no jaw jerkers |
No city lights, no pretty sights |
Will ever shine on you again |
No more actors, no Max Factors |
Will smog your mind and leave you blind |
No politicians, no higher religions |
To guide you from the dark |
No more Love-Ins, no more Human Be-Ins |
Will light up Griffin Park |
Babylon |
On your hands is the blood of the prophets and all the holy ones |
Babylon |
Everyone you executed with your machine guns |
Babylon |
You’re bringing about your own destruction, Babylon |
I’m putting you down down down down |
Where you can never rise up again |
And watch your ashes light up the midnight skies once again |
After reading the words of this old scroll to you |
I hope you all cap back on the message |
Lord, that I just told to you |
About Babylon |
