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 |
