I Was Raised In Babylon Lyrics

[00:21.76] I was raised in Babylon
[00:25.77] Our priests taught us how to worship the sun
[00:28.86] Oh, where did we go wrong?
[00:37.61] They used to call us civilised but those days are gone
[00:49.38] I came to guard the Pharaoh
[00:53.33] Bring him wine and women
[00:56.49] Oh Lord, where is he now?
[01:05.24] We used to call him the highest
[01:07.63] Till the ave took him down
[01:09.98]
[01:28.98] I was born in the Holy Land
[01:33.10] They told me it was by God's command
[01:35.91] Oh, where are the others from?
[01:44.92] I thought that we were the chosen
[01:47.43] I must've been wrong
[01:49.18]
[02:04.62] I loved to march with the Sultan
[02:08.60] And his diamond turban
[02:11.49] Oh Lord, then the world took hold
[02:20.17] Let go of the rope of God for a handful of gold
[02:25.64]
[02:35.96] I used to serve the Empire
[02:39.64] On which the sun set, never
[02:42.72] Oh, now times have turned
[02:51.47] We thought our white skins would save us
[02:54.11] Then we got burned
[02:56.32]
