lirik lagu glen allen green – 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 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
