Babylon’s Burning Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Babylon's burning
You burn in the street
You burn in your houses
With anxiety
[Chorus]
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
[Verse 2]
Babylon's burning
You burn in the street
You burn in the ghetto
With anxiety
[Chorus]
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
[Hook]
Babylon's burning
Baby, can't you see?
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
[Verse 3]
You burn as you work
You burn as you play
The spark of fear is smouldering
With ignorance and hate
[Chorus]
And with anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
[Hook]
Babylon's burning
Baby, can't you see?
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
[Outro]
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
