Babylon System
Rebel Against Babylon: Unveiling a Message of Freedom and Resistance
Lyrics
We refuse to be
We reject conforming to your expectations.
What you wanted us to be
We won't become what you desire us to be.
We are what we are
We embrace our true selves.
That's the way it's going to be, if you don't know
This is how it will be, unless you are unaware.
You can't educate I
You cannot influence or control me.
For no equal opportunity (talkin' 'bout my freedom)
No access to equal opportunities, especially regarding freedom.
Talkin' 'bout my freedom
Emphasizing personal freedom.
People freedom and liberty!
Advocating for people's freedom and liberty.
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Enduring oppression for too long.
Rebel, rebel!
Calling for rebellion against oppression.
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long
Continued resistance against oppression.
Rebel, rebel!
Reiterating the call for rebellion.
Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)

Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!

Me say de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Reiterating the vampiric nature of the Babylon system.
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yeah!
Highlighting the system's exploitation of the suffering.
Building church and university, wooh, yeah!
Criticizing the establishment of institutions with a cynical tone.
Deceiving the people continually, yeah!
Accusing the system of continuous deception.

Referring to graduates as potential criminals.
Look out now they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers)
