Leaving this babylon
Leaving this babylon
Will I be too long?
Will I be too long?
Said my people are starving
But the money's running
The dollar gotta drop down real low
You ain't no gold to show
That's why we're going to take it right down
Nice and low
Not gonna come back no more
Said the politician's lying
My momma's just a cryin'
Nothing ever gonna change
My papa just a sighin'
My sister just a lyin'
And I ain't got nothin' to claim
Well I say
Well I say
(scat singing)
