Songtext zu 'babylon control' von Mike Love

It seems the louder we're singing
The less they're hearing
Babylon has got them so mindless
They can't see Armageddon is near
I try to shake them to wake them
But they say they'd rather be sleeping

So don't be surprised
If my eyes can't disguise
That inside my spirit is weeping
I dreamt last night that the end had come
I was searching everywhere for food but there was none
Bodies laying burned in the midday Sun
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run
I went to the city but the city was gone
Irradiated with hatred and destroyed by a bomb
Behold the brilliant colors of the nuclear dawn
But there is no song
All has gone wrong
And when I awoke I could clearly see
The seeds of this vision Jah had given me
Planted deep within these aristocracies
Hypocrisy

Power and greed
So wake up to the fact that they're controlling you
Whether or not your doing what you want to do
The system that you're living in is doomed
Jah knows it's true and
I man I know it's true
And I'm just telling you this
Because I love you breddren
Through and through I man true until the very end
The sweeter the kiss
The stronger the poison
And this is the reason that I idrens
Are dying for nothing
It's Babylon control
It's Hollywood mind control
They target the youth
I'll show you the proof

Come on see the truth
It's written on I man soul
A Rasta man soul
It's news media control
Political mind control
Get under your skin
They're wearing you thin
But you no give in
For not all that glitter is gold
And in my vision I saw incurable disease
Genetically engineer by hateful enemies
All of this in the name of power and money
How could this be
The future for we?
The green and mighty forests of the Amazon
The lush valleys of Hawai'I are dead and gone
The once abundant and fertile land of Babylon
Now sand and stone
Stripped to the bone
Oh come quickly
They're taking away our paradise
Separating us from the source all lives
Poisoning the seas and polluting the skies
Ignoring the cries
Promoting the lies

So now that this vision has come into your life
I hope you will take up your part in the fight
Against those who seek to turn our day into night
You know it's right
So stand up and fight
And I'm just telling you this
Because I love you my sistren
Through and through I man true until the very end
The sweeter the kiss
The stronger the poison
And this is the reason that I idrens
Are dying for nothing
It's Babylon control
It's Hollywood mind control
They target the youth
I'll show you the proof
Come on see the truth
It's written on I man soul
A Rasta man soul
It's news media control
Political mind control
Get under your skin
They're wearing you thin
But you no give in
For not all that glitter is gold

For I have been fooled before
But now I 'n' I know
The difference between believing in what I man feel
And believing in what I been told
'Cause their propaganda it burns like wildfire
They use it to turn brother against brother
It's Babylon control
It's Hollywood mind control
They target the youth

I'll show you the proof
Come on see the truth
It's written on I man soul
Rasta man soul
It's news media control
Political mind control
Get under your skin
They're wearing you thin
But no be victim in this empire
Of glittering fool's gold now
