I'm leaving this babylon
I'm leaving this babylon
It will not be for long
It will not be for long
Says my people are starving
But the money's running
I said Jah people are starving
But the money's running
Say the dollar dollar drop down real low
And you ain't got no gold to show
Gonna take the shit right nice and low
We're not gonna come back no more
I said the politician's lying
The people always dying
And nothing's ever gonna change
I said my momma's always cryin'
Sister's always lying
And nothing's ever gonna change
That's why I say turn me loose
Turn me loose
Take the sheet's off from off my feet
I wanna run to the rhythm and the beat
Cause it's so long since I've had you by my side
Oh Lord
But I wake and take this fighting anymore
So I'm leaving this babylon
I'm leaving this babylon
Will not be for long
Will not be for long
You can hear my rhythm
Even my Irene
They are the ones who will satisfy you oh Lord
And they will try
Try in every way Lord
To run your life
Mmm, trouble in the land
