lyrics

Babylon, babylon, rise and fall
Who's outside to shut you down, it's your people

You are murderer, you are murderer

We have been told, that these countries were our best allies
We have been lied, that these countries were democracies
Fighting against the fanaticism in rise
We gave a hand to dictators for your own businesses
We even taught them how to repress their citizens
A knowledge that we sold with boxes filled with weapons
I say we, in the name of the nation
But YOU fuckin' did it and we won't forgive your actions

What you don't understand by acting like you do
It's each and everyone of us that you're spitting to
You are NOT in command to blind your citizen
You have NOT been elected for our rights to be lessen
Our old democracies, are slowly dying
As we let them kill, the freedom of speaking
But you should never forget that WE are the nation
And we'll never shut up we will shake the ground

Did you ever wonder why, when it's about drug
We are tracking the dealer, and we let go the consumer
When it's about war, the consumer is the thug
And the merchant of death can get rid of his best sellers
You can hide the truth but you can never lock us down
Good or bad for you their's no moral difference
Don't you hear in your dreams the child pain and moans
Don't you worry one night we'll come for you not your clients
