BABYLON.
We;re living in Babylon day after day
I wish to my Gods there was some other way
The News covers stories too evil to tell
And all of it feels like unspeakable Hell.
Its all that we hear and its all that we see
Our kids fed a diet of Trash MTV
Who worship the Gods of the greed and the Bling
And Darkness is present in all that they sing.
Our children are tainted and spoilt to the core
The Mantra they chant is "More give me More"
We fed them technology, that was the goal
With never a thought for the needs of their Soul.
And Mothers abandoned by impotent men
Afraid that the cycle will rotate again
As children are raised without knowing a Dad
The planet grows pitiful, empty and sad.
Our Elders confined to a minimal space
Ignored, for they cant even join in this race
The stories they treasure locked deep in their heart
Yet they fought for a freedom that tore us apart.
I pray for Redemption, for honour and Truth
For peace in the hearts of our misguided youth
Who praise the prowess of the Pimp and the Gangsta
But really he;s just an illiterate Wankster.
The ice caps are melting and flowing like tears
From watching our downfall these terrible years
We;re living in Babylon day after day
And watching Humanity slipping away.
