lyrics

BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
WHEN NINETY NINE GO HUNGRY,
THEN THE ONE GO DOWN,

THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON I AND I,
AND LEFT US ALL BEHIND, BEFORE THEY SUCKED US DRY,
THEY FORGOT THEIR OWN HUMANITY,
AND FED US ALL WITH LIES,
THEIR INSANITY,

THESE GOVERNMENT POLITICIANS,
PUPPETS STRING ON A WIRE,
THEY’RE NOTHING MORE THAN PROSTITUTES FOR LOBBY’S DESIRE,
A PAY OF UNSEEN, GOES FROM HAND TO HAND,
THIS SPUN MIND CONTROL IS THE ENSLAVEMENT OF MAN,

BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
WHEN NINETY NINE GO HUNGRY,
THEN THE ONE GO DOWN,

GREEDY PEOPLE NOW HAVE THEIR BACKS TO THE WALL,
THEY’LL BE THE NEXT VICTIM OF THEIR OWN DOWNFALL,
TAKEN APART BY A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN,
EVIL MEN WILL TOPPLE AT THE HAND OF NINETY NINE,

WITH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM WE CAN SET THE SOUL FREE,
DESTROY THE BONDS OF MENTAL CAPTIVITY,
FOR THEY CAN NEVER CAPTURE I AND I’S SOUL,
IN TRUTH, THEY NEVER HAD ANY CONTROL,

THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER I AND I’S SOUL,
YEAH, THEY HAVE NO CONTROL,

BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
WHEN NINETY NINE GO HUNGRY,
THEN THE ONE GO DOWN,

BABYLON, WHOA BABYLON,
WHERE O’ WHERE DID YOU GO WRONG?
BABYLON, WHOA BABYLON,
WHERE DID YOU GO WRONG?
YOURS IS A TRAGIC SONG,

BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
BABYLON SYSTEM ON THE WAY DOWN,
WHEN NINETY NINE GO HUNGRY,
THEN THE ONE GO DOWN.
