[Intro] Lord have mercy Babylon... We see what you're doing Same old story Different disguise You can fool some people sometimes But you can't fool the people forever Babylon's game... We know your game Jahhhh Rastafariiiiiiii [Verse 1] They build the walls then sell you the key Tell you you're free, but how free can you be? They write the story, control what you see Then call it truth on your TV They make you work till your spirit run dry Feed you the fear and they never tell why Promise tomorrow while stealing today Smile in your face while they take it away But every lie got a moment of truth Every old system must answer the youth You can hide behind money, position and fame But the people are learning the rules of the game [Pre-Chorus] Round and round and round we go Same deception, different show Open your eyes and you will know Who benefits when the pressure grows? [Chorus] Babylon's game Everybody knows the name They keep changing all the rules While they make another fool Babylon's game We don't want to play Give the people back their power Give the people back their day [Verse 2] Divide the people, then rule from above Turn brother on brother and call it love Give us a choice where the choices are same Different faces playing Babylon's game Keep them distracted, keep them confused Keep them divided by different views While everybody fighting from left into right Babylon counting the money at night But something is changing, the people can feel Too many questions, the truth getting real No chain can survive when the mind becomes free And no man can own what Jah made naturally [Pre-Chorus] Round and round and round we go Same deception, different show Open your eyes and you will know Who benefits when the pressure grows? [Chorus] Babylon's game Everybody knows the name They keep changing all the rules While they make another fool Babylon's game We don't want to play Give the people back their power Give the people back their day Babylon's game No, we don't want to play [Dub Break] Babylon's game... Game... game... game... Power... Power to the people... Truth cannot hide forever No... Truth cannot hide [Verse 3] You can control every paper you print You can control every message you send You can put cameras on every street But you cannot put chains on the thoughts underneath You can buy politicians, towers and land Still you can't stop when the people understand 'Cause power ain't power when nobody obeys And kingdoms can fall in a matter of days So wake up the mother, wake up the son Wake up the people and make them as one No hatred, no violence, no blood in the rain Just millions of voices refusing the game [Bridge] I don't need your silver I don't need your gold I don't need the story That I've already been told I don't need your permission To know that I am free Jah put the fire inside us And truth will set us free So when Babylon calls... Tell them... Not me [Final Chorus] Babylon's game Everybody knows the name They keep changing all the rules While they make another fool Babylon's game We don't want to play Give the people back their power Give the people back their day Babylon's game Everybody knows the name You can change a thousand rules But you can't fool everyone again Babylon's game Your time is fading away When the people know their power Babylon can't make them stay [Outro] Babylon's game... We know your game No more fear No more chains No more playing... Babylon's game
