Lyrics
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
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
Someone’s horse is gonna run tonight
And those who ride are gonna have to fight
Out of the darkness and into the light
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
Away from Babylon
Sidewalk prophets prophesy
That innocent people are gonna die
If we don’t change the way we live
We won't have nothin’ to give
Money and greed rule the day
Oh listen to what the people say
Anything goes, if you can pay
On the edge of Babylon
Someone’s horse is gonna run tonight
And those who ride are gonna have to fight
Out of the darkness and into the light
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
Away from Babylon
