babylon
Singer: dr. john
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
