Lyrics
The Edge of Babylon
There's a lot of movin' and shakin' here,
With questions and doubts that spring from fear,
Who's gonna stop this avalanche, of sorrow and despair?
There are too many liars, thieves and kings,
Trying to kill and steal our dreams,
Life on this planet is ill-advised, if you want to stay alive.
(Chorus)
Someone's horse is gonna run tonight,
And those who ride are gonna have to fight.
Fight for justice and for the right,
On the edge of Babylon.
Look away from the greed and blight
Away from the things that have ruined our sight
Out of the dark and into the light
On the edge of Babylon
Things are not as they appear,
The City on the Hill is a place of fear,
The American Dream is no longer clear,
On the edge of Babylon.
Evil is trying to take us down,
With smoke and mirrors all around.
But here we are on holy ground,
Slouching toward Babylon.
(Chorus)
Money and greed rule the day,
Oh listen to what the people say,
Anything goes, if you can pay,
On the edge of Babylon.
(Chorus)
Away from the things that have ruined our sight
Out of the dark and into the light
On the edge of Babylon
