Chant Down Babylon (Feb. 15th)

Ken Tancrus
Language: English




Hold me tight while I Chant Down Babylon
When you do it makes me feel so strong
A righteous man's gotta Chant Down Babylon
He has to stand up against what's wrong..

Detention Room 1392 One Hundred in a cell for 34
Because we dared confront the man who soiled us
with his personal pre-emptive war.

Students, teachers and day laborers
Wall street investors and a few wallpaperers
They were agnostic and some devout
Whose only crime that day was speaking out.

Hold me tight while I Chant Down Babylon
When you do it makes me feel so strong
A righteous man's gotta Chant Down Babylon
He has to stand up against what's wrong.

Some folks find protest uncomfortable
"Just shut uo and back the man"
But we've seen the blueprint for everything
His world domination plan

All we say is take a good look at him
Sitting smirking, naked on the throne
We have the right to point out the obvious
The whole country is a free speech zone.

Hold me tight while I Chant Down Babylon
When you do it makes me feel so strong,
A righteous man's gotta Chant Down Babylon
He has to stand up against what's wrong..

If war is peace and freedom slavery
and telling truth will never set you free
We'll have squandered all the lives and bravery
Sacrifices made for you and me..


Hold me tight while I Chant Down Babylon
When you do it makes me feel so strong,
A righteous man's gotta Chant Down Babylon
He has to stand up against what's wrong..
