Babylon - Intellectual

[Intro]

Here we go!

1, 2, 1, 2, 3!

[Chorus]

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

Yeah

They got their swords and their spears

And their bows and their knives

But we're fighting with our brothers and our sisters for our lives

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

[Verse 1]

God made man and man made kings

And the kings rule men and then bring the suffering

When the people rise up, they see it as defiant

They wanna have control, so you can't be self-reliant

You play your role and don't get out of line

If you sell your soul, they will buy it for a dime

And sell it for a dollar so they can turn a profit

It's a vicious cycle and the only way to stop it

[Chorus]

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

Yeah

They got their swords and their spears

And their bows and their knives

But we're fighting with our brothers and our sisters for our lives

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

[Verse 2]

They run the drugs so they make all the money

That they're busy printin' up like a bee makin' honey

They hide in the shadows, call themselves enlightened

While all the people's shackles are slowly getting tightened

If we're not locked up, we're starving in the streets

Full bellies getting fat while the weak are getting weaker

Politicians out to line their pockets

It's a vicious cycle and the only way to stop it

[Chorus]

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

Yeah

They got their swords and their spears

And their bows and their knives

But we're fighting with our brothers and our sisters for our lives

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

[Organ Solo]

[Bridge]

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Songs of the system of control

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Violent and tyrannical

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's a radical overthrow

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

It'll happen again like it's happened before

[Chorus]

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

Yeah

They got their swords and their spears

And their bows and their knives

But we're fighting with our brothers and our sisters for our lives

Rebel against the kings of Babylon

[Ending]

They got their swords and their spears

And their bows and their knives

But we're fighting with our brothers and our sisters for our lives

Rebel against the kings of Babylon
