[Chorus] Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion [Verse 1] And it came to pass in the eleventh year In the first month of the seventh day The words of Jah came to us, saying I shall say unto the north "Give up" And to the south "Keep not back" Send the chosen sons from afar And his daughters from the ends of the earth [Chorus] Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] And it came to pass in the eleventh year In the first month of the seventh day The words of Jah came to us, saying I shall say unto the north "Give up" And to the south "Keep not back" Send the chosen sons from afar And his daughters from the ends of the earth [Chorus] Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down in Babylon Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion Many are called but few shall be chosen to go to Mount Zion [Outro] I know the truth from deep inside, someday (Huh) Many careless Ethiopians shall go down, go down, go down In a Babylon, down in a Babylon Eighty thousand careless Ethiopians shall go down, go down, go down If you fall, I don't care Many of you shall go down in a Babylon
