Time in Babylon

Five-lane highway danger zone SUV and a speaker phone You need that chrome to get you home Doin' time in Babyion Cluster mansion on the hill Another day in Pleasantville You don't like it take a pill Doin1 time in Babyion In the land of the proud and free You can sell your soul and your dignity For fifteen minutes on TV Doin' time in Babyion So suck the fat, cut the bone Fill it up with silicone Everybody must get cloned Doin' time in Babyion Little Boy Blue come blow your horn The crows are in the corn The morning sky is red and falling down The piper's at the till He's coming for the kill Luring all our children underground in Babyion We came frorm apple pie and mom through Civil Rights and Ban the Bomb To Watergate and Vietnam Hard times in Babyion Rallied 'round the megaphone Gave it up, just got stoned Now it's Prada, Gucci and Perron Doin' time in Babyion Get results, get 'em fast We're ready if you got the cash Someone else will be laughin' last Doin' time in Babyion So put that conscience on the shelf Keep the best stuff for yourself Let the rest fight over what is left Doin' time in Babyion Little Boy Blue come blow your horn The crows are in the corn The morning sky is red and falling down Let your song of healing spark A way out of this dark Lead us to a higher and a holy ground --- Time in Babylon - Emmylou Harris
