Leaving Babylon

I'm leaving this babylon
I'm leaving this babylon
It will not be too long
It will not be too long
Says my people are starving
But the money's running
I said Jah people are starving
But the money's running

Say the dollar dollar drop down real low
And you ain't got no gold to show
Gonna take the ship right nicely
We're not gonna come back no more
I said the politician's lying
The people always dying
And I ain't ever gonna change
I said my momma's always cryin'
Sister's always lying
And I ain't ever gonna change

That's why I say turn me loose
Turn me loose
Take the shoes out from off my feet
I wanna run to the rhythm and the beat.
Cause it's so long since I've had you by my side
Oh Lord
But I really can't take this fighting anymore

So I'm leaving this babylon
I'm leaving this babylon
Will not be for long
Will not be for long

You can hear my rhythm
Even my irie
They are the ones who will satisfy you oh Lord
And they will try
Try in every way Lord
To run your life
Mmm, trouble in the land...
