It's time to listen up all good people and take a look around

I know that everything is looking normal

But something is unsound

It seems to me that we are constricted by a force unfair

Can't do what we all want to or you'll wind up in jail

Babylon don't make the rules

Babylon don't make our rules

They try to play us all for fools

Babylon don't make our rules alright, alright

I'm feeling like our voices are unspoken and our needs unmet

Freedom is what we all want so freedom is what we will get

So put up all your hands together and squeeze them real tight

If you're paying income tax

Then you're helping to build bombs

What do you have to say about that

Babylon don't make the rules

Babylon don't make our rules

They try to play us all for fools

Babylon don't make our rules alright, alright
