Babylon is burning
You're burning the street
You're burning your houses
With anxiety

With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning

Babylon is burning
You're burning the street
You're burning the ghetto
With anxiety

With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning

Babylon is burning
Can't you see?
Babylon is burning
With anxiety

You'll burn as you're work
You'll burn as you're play
Smouldering
With ignorance and hate

And with anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
With anxiety
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning

Babylon is burning, baby
Can't you see?
Babylon's burning
With anxiety

Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is... burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
