Time in Babylon |
| five-lane highway danger zone |
| SUV and a speaker phone |
| you need that chrome to get you home |
| doin time in Babylon |
| cluster mansion on the hill |
| another day in Pleasantville |
| you don’t like it take a pill |
| doin time in Babylon |
| in the land of the proud and free |
| you can sell your soul and your dignity |
| for fifteen minutes on TV |
| doin time in Babylon |
| so suck the fat, cut the bone |
| fill it up with silicone |
| everybody must get cloned |
| doin time in Babylon |
| little boy blue come blow your horn |
| the crows are in the corn |
| the morning sky is red and falling down |
| the piper’s at the till |
| he’s coming for the kill |
| luring all our children under-ground in Babylon |
| we can from apple pie and mom |
| thru Civil Rights and Ban the Bomb |
| to Watergate and Vietnam |
| hard times in Babylon |
| rallied round the megaphone |
| gave it up, just got stoned |
| now it’s Prada, Gucci and Ferron |
| doin time in Babylon |
| get results, get'em fast |
| we’re ready if you got the cash |
| someone ekse will be laughin last |
| doin time in Babylon |
| so put that conscience on the shelf |
| keep the best stuff for yourself |
| let the rest fight over what is left |
| doin time in Babylon |
| little boy blue come blow your horn |
| the crows are in the corn |
| the morning sky is red and falling down |
| let your song of healing spark |
| a way out of this dark |
| lead us to a higher and a holy ground |
