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
We 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 possessions, 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 Ganges 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 can't seem to see Seal the gap between you and me You make me wanna Shine over Babylon You make me wanna Shine over Babylon You make me wanna Shine over Babylon You make me wanna Shine over Babylon
