Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long Rebel, rebel! Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long Rebel, rebel! Babylon system is the vampire, yea!

Deceiving the people continually, yeah! Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers Look out now they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers) Yea! (sufferers) Tell the children the truth Tell the children the truth Tell the children the truth right now! Come on and tell the children the truth Tell the children the truth Tell the children the truth Tell the children the truth Come on and tell the children the truth 'Cause, 'cause we've been trodding on ya winepress much too long Rebel, rebel!
