Babylon is Against Me - Patrice

babylon is against me
jah know I don’t need them
they’re living here and they’re empty
cause they don’t have no soul in them
they smile at me and welcome friend me
but I don’t want them as my friends
wanna buy my soul so they can spend me
but jah know I don’t need them

I hope this ain’t too radical for your airwaves
cause my people need to hear this
when will you go weary
of “baby I love you” songs, songs of vanity
when will you go weary
of the same old songs,
same old words, just the same,
just the… just the litter verse
they haven’t built the man that I answered to,
haven’t made the plan that would make me do
what they want me to
so hear who judges, let him judge
I’m not here to please no man
I’m here to please the… please the lord of lords

babylon is against me
jah know I don’t need them
they’re living here and they’re empty
cause they don’t have no soul in them
they wanna buy my soul so they can spend me
but jah know I don’t need them
living here and they're so empty
but jah know I don’t need them

see they’re judging me
for all the things they didn’t do,
did not achieve, they did not feel,
did not believe that it could be done
suddenly they’re loving me
with plastic smiles they’re hugging me
but it doesn’t mean anything
it doesn’t feel real, it’s wrong
they have weird ideals and profiles
everybody always smiles
evreything is great, everything is nice
they’re beautiful and live their life
“oh you god, just love your dress”,
“oh my god, you’re the best”,
“oh my god”, “oh my god”
don’t use his name like that

babylon is against me
jah know I don’t need them
they’re living here and they’re empty
cause they don’t have no soul in them
they smile at me and welcome friend me
but I don’t want them as my friends
wanna buy my soul so they can spend me
but jah know I don’t…

see, they’re all for the dream
it’s nothing but a fantasy
it’s all but a dream
none of it is really real

see it’s all but a dream
it’s nothing but a fantasy
it’s all but a dream
none of it is really real
