about

Babylon The Great is a biblical name given to all false and hypocritical religions. Babylon was an ancient city whose false teachings angered God and therefore brought about it's own destruction.

lyrics

She laid down her crazy laws
she welcomed us in her arms
we fell for her charms
she treated us like nothing but fools
she mixed the truth in with lies
and laughed at our cries
Oh, you know you promised me
all the answers that would set me free

Oh Babylon you’re such a beautiful child
sweet music we heard when you smiled
you’ve got us riding on this runaway train
with no hope or direction
now I know you’re clearly insane

She danced around like a drunken whore
but all her good stuff was stale what did we inhale
co’s we are only children at heart on a slippery path
let’s have the last laugh
oh, Babylon she’ll really take you far
she rules the world yes she’s a superstar

Oh Babylon you’re such a beautiful queen
the most seductive eyes that I’ve ever seen
you left us breathless it was such a surprise
you shaved to perfection I’ve got to hand it to you
for such a brilliant disguise

Oh, you know you promised me
all the answers that would set me free
oh Babylon the great, oh Babylon the great
oh Babylon the great, oh Babylon the great
just look what you’ve done, you’ve cast a cloud on the son
you’ve misled everyone oh Babylon
what have you done, what have you done
what have you done, what have you done
what have you done, what have you done
what have you done, what have you done
what have you done, what have you done
