Shine Over Babylon |
| I walked the heat of seven hills |
| Endless talk of losing wills |
| Great highways in a constant melt |
| Men and women and children all have overbuilt |
| Buying bread and paying for none |
| Creatures of a waning sun |
| Teacher’s hands are overrun |
| Clowns and gypsies have all but gone |
| You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
| You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
| Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars |
| Hollow stones of mindless filler |
| Can lead to madman oil drillers |
| Won’t be long before we all are killers |
| Little boy lost way up the mountains |
| Cities drowning under boiling fountains |
| I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days |
| I was trembling in a golden haze |
| You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
| You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
| Celebrate the golden cow |
| Praise the bloated bank account |
| If there’s a god where is he now |
| The precipice is slipping further out |
| Sanskrit message from the mounts |
| Leave your possession, hope abounds |
| There’s nothing here for you to cry about |
| We’re all just followers from here on out |
| I take the stage, I walk the planks |
| I sing these songs with little thanks |
| I wait for shouts from crazy cranks |
| I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks |
| I found my way to alexandria |
| Where gurus bubble up on gangea |
| Scavengers, they run up and hand ya All the junk that should have damned ya You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
| You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
| If everything in life was free |
| You’d float in your own reverie |
| The things that you could never see |
| seal the gap between you and me You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
| You make me wanna |
| Shine over Babylon |
