Time In Babylon Songtext / Lyric

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

Through 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 else 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 cows 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...
