Living for Babylon

Lyrics

It's a long way to Babylon And I think that I should keep movin' on To find a place for me in high society I can almost see the golden gates If I close my eyes and concentrate They're opening for me Ah, sweet captivity Who's crying now? Who needs the milk and the honey? We can learn to love it here Just think of the money Can you tell me what's wrong? Don't cry, we're headed for Babylon Can you tell me so long? Goodbye, I'm living for Babylon It's the rainbow's end I now pursue To the land of my birth I say adieu My future waits for me, a golden dеstiny And I'm sure that God has led me hеre To make me rich beyond my years And wear the pedigree of high society Who's crying now? Who needs the land of our fathers? Let the prophets shed their tears Who should we bother? Can you tell me what's wrong? Don't cry, we're headed for Babylon Please tell me so long Goodbye, farewell to Zion Can you tell me what's wrong? No tears, we're headed for Babylon Please tell me so long (so long!) Goodbye, I'm living for Babylon I do believe I can succeed Where others have fallen In higher circles they'll repeat my name I do believe society Will conquer the small men The ones who never lived their lives for fame And never played the game I've got to be strong (We've got to be) I'm living for Babylon It's a long way to Babylon And I think that I should keep movin' on To find a place for me in high society I can almost taste the sweet success Almost feel the happiness No longer bourgeoisie, I'm high society Who's crying now? Only the sick and the hungry Surely we will love it here Just think of the money Can you tell me what's wrong? Don't cry, we're headed for Babylon Can you tell me so long? Goodbye, farewell to Zion Can you tell me what's wrong? No tears, we're headed for Babylon Please, so long Goodbye! Yeah! I'm living for Babylon Ooh, living for Babylon Yeah, living for Babylon Babylon Living for Babylon Whoo, living for Babylon
