[Intro]
Look at my brothers down in captivity
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Look at my brothers
Down in a Babylon, oh yeah
Look at my sisters
Down in a Babylon, oh Lord

[Verse 1]
Birds have dem nest, oh Lord
To lay their eggs, oh yeah
And we the poor people, we the poor people
We've got no way get away
We want a piece of bread
Look at my brothers

[Chorus]
Down in a Babylon, oh Lord
Down in a Babylon

[Verse 2]
Birds have dem nest, oh Lord
To lay their eggs, oh yeah
And we the poor people, we the poor people
Oh yes, we've got no way get away
We want a piece of bread

[Chorus]
Look at my brothers
Down in a Babylon, oh yeah
Look at my sisters
Down in a Babylon, oh Lord

[Verse 3]
Give an helping hand, oh Jah, oh yeah
Give an helping hand, oh Jah, oh yeah
Give it to the righteous one
Give it to the chosen one
Give it up, give it up to the Rastaman

Look at my brothers
Down in a Babylon
