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   You make me wanna   Shine over Babylon   You make me wanna   Shine over Babylon
