Babylon
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Unfair Forces in Babylon
Lyrics
It's time to listen up all good people and take a look around
Calling attention to the audience to pay heed, observe their surroundings.
I know that everything is looking normal
Despite appearances, there is an underlying issue or problem.
But something is unsound
Suggesting an unsettling or unstable aspect in the current situation.
It seems to me that we are constricted by a force unfair
Feeling restricted unfairly, facing limitations imposed by an external force.
Can't do what we all want to or you'll wind up in jail
Warning against actions that may lead to legal consequences.
Babylon don't make the rules
Stating that the system (Babylon) doesn't dictate the speaker's rules.
Babylon don't make our rules
Reiterating that Babylon doesn't define or control their rules.
They try to play us all for fools
Accusing Babylon of attempting to deceive or manipulate everyone.
Babylon don't make our rules alright, alright
Emphasizing that Babylon doesn't have authority over their rules.
I'm feeling like our voices are unspoken and our needs unmet
Expressing frustration that their concerns and desires are not acknowledged.
Freedom is what we all want so freedom is what we will get
Affirming the universal desire for freedom and the determination to achieve it.
So put up all your hands together and squeeze them real tight
Encouraging unity by raising hands together as a symbol of collective strength.
If you're paying income tax
Connecting the payment of income tax to indirect contribution to weaponry.
Then you're helping to build bombs
Highlighting the controversial link between taxation and the production of bombs.
What do you have to say about that
Prompting reflection on the ethical implications of supporting such activities.
Babylon don't make the rules
Reiterating that Babylon doesn't dictate or control their rules.
Babylon don't make our rules
Emphasizing the rejection of Babylon's influence over their rules.
They try to play us all for fools
Accusing Babylon of attempting to deceive or manipulate everyone.
Babylon don't make our rules alright, alright
Reiterating that Babylon doesn't have authority over their rules.
