Babylon system is the vampire
suckin‘ the children day by day
Me say: de Babylon system
is the vampire, falling empire
Suckin‘ the blood of the sufferers
Building church and university
Deceiving the people continually
Me say them graduatin´ thieves and murderers
Look out now: they suckin‘ the blood of the sufferers
Tell the children the truth
Come on and tell the children the truth
Cause we’ve been trodding on ya winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
And we’ve been taken for granted much too long:
Rebel, rebel now!
Bob Marley: Babylon System, 1979
