Sing a song of Babylon Of days gone by and days to come Sing a song and I'll sing along with you Sing a song of Babylon Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do For Sacco and Vanzetti and those who fell along the way For matriarchs and patriarchs and those who were led astray For those who lived and those who died For those who fell and those who survived We gotta keep on laughing and fighting for a better day and a better way Sing a song of Babylon Of days gone by and days to come Sing a song and I'll sing along with you Sing a song of Babylon Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do Sometimes it seems like there's nothing you can do Sometimes it seems like they're catching up with you
Sometimes it seems like nothing works Sometimes it seems like things can't get worse Sometimes it seems like there's nothing you can do Dog please help this garden grow Please bless these seeds I sow Please grant me fertile ground And help me tear these motherf**ers down Please guide me wrong from right Please guide me dark from light Please give me strength to live Strength to laugh and strength to fight Sing a song of Babylon Of days gone by and days to come Sing a song and I'll sing along with you Sing a song of Babylon Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do Sing a song 'cause there's something we can do Let's sing a song about everything that we're gonna do
