Thievery Corporation

The Richest Man in Babylon

There is no guidance in your kingdom

Your wicked walk in Babylon

There is no wisdom to your freedom

The richest man in babylon

Your beggars sleep outside your doorway

Your prophets leave to wonder on

You fall asleep at night with worries

The saddest man in Babylon

The wicked stench of exploitation

Hangs in the air and lingers on

Beneath the praise and admiration

The weakest man in Babylon

There is no hope left in your kingdom

Your servants have burned all their songs

Nobody here remembers freedom

The richest man in Babylon

Si la lou babylon go 'dain

Babylon gon' be rich again

But too we don' sick again

But no we no weak again

Babyloooon on on on on

(Rasta scat)

Sal la lou ca uba whoa

Si la douba douba do wa bay

??

Si la loo babylon come 'round

You'd better know you'd better understand

The wretched know you'd better hear what they say

Babylon this is your final day

Babylon this is your final call

Read the writin' that's on the wall

Said United we stand

And together we fall

And if I know that

You're not gon' catch me in a rat pack

We not go fallin' on your death trap

No way...

Whoooooa oh oh oh oh whoa oh who oh oh

Whooooooa oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh o oh
