This is a warning to the oligarchy..... "You better know you better understand 'Fact you know you better hear what they say Babylon this is your final day Babylon this is your final call Read the writin' it's on the wall Said United we stand And together we fall And if I know that You're not 'gon catch me in a rat pack We not go fallin' on your death trap No way..." It's a song to inspire revolution.
Your missing the point of this music. He sings of the babylonian kingdom, wealthiest in the world of its time, what is it to us now? Mere ruins. As he sings of babylon, images flashing of what we call the most advanced point in history- the past 30 years. We seem on the forefront now, but we will experience the same ruin.
@hyanreo Babylon to the rasta's is what they literally call the western hemisphere. Its a reference to the bible, people taken from zion to babylon. For rasta's zion is ethiopia, and babylon is the wes.t
I'm not quite sure why nearly all comments R about Africa. It might sound odd, but i think (Yes i realy do) that we should rather listen to what they (afrikan) need and want than what we consider as good for them.
She-eat and now I'm writing about africa. This seems to be contagious.
wah wah wah africa this africa that face it that continent and its ppl are never going to make it. billions in aid have been flushed down that shitter for decades and guess what,things are only getting worse.i'm not a racist or insensitive i'm just a realist. without outside control of government blacks just cannot make it on their own its that simple,look at every minority governed city in the u.s. or anywhere else for that matter,e.g. detroit. its the same no matter where.
@chieuhoi88 you claim to not be racist, and in the same breadth claim blacks cannot make it without whites..funny guy.you need to touch up on your history because africa is in the shitter because of the colonization by europeans. they drew random boundaries creating countries in africa putting people together who were enemies for hundreds of years..then the europeans abandoned ship and expected these enemies to somehow govern their countries without turmoil...your just another ignorant dumbass.
babylon no get rich again but to end up sick again and you end up weak again babylon babylon you run you better know you you better understand the rancher man you better hear what we say babylon this is your final day babylon this is your final call read the writing that's on the wall see divided we stand and together we fall you never know that you not gon' catch me in a rat pack we not gon' fall away from it jah no way
Your beggars sleep outside your doorway Your prophets leave to wonder on You fall asleep at night with worry The saddest man in Babylon The wicked stench of exploitation Hangs in the air and lingers on Beneath the praise and admiration The weakest man in Babylon There is no hope left in your kingdom Your servants have burned all their songs Nobody here remembers freedom The richest man in Babylon
Funny comments. People who say that this song ( and video) does not have any, or all, political message obviously does not know Theivery Corporation and what they stand for. I've been to many of their shows which doubles as a political/ environmental campaign rally. I *heart* them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
we arnt in a political video, listend to the music, and shut up, and yes im brainwashed if u want, but just shut up, we don't care about your political opinions men !
@azimut0901 We aren't in a political video? Did you even watch the video? Did you listen to the lyrics? Are we listening to the same song? This song is a complete and total condemnation of the world (mostly America) today. Just look at the damn title of the song, man. It saddens me greatly to see a sleepwalker like yourself not even able to comprehend the obvious message in a Thievery Corporation song.
U're like the greatest part of this insane world, u think about a jew complot theory, and you see the word conspiration and zionism in all the texts, videos, tvshows, etc.
U're a looser, like the others, sorry.
I'd just would said no one videos is actually "political free", because of poeple like you, who wants to make trouble with normal poeple who are not in your opinion. I know what Thievery Corporation wants to say with this song, dumbass. Go back to "The Signs" videos, and shut up.
@azimut0901 dude chill it doesnt matter... ;) take all poloitical theorys and shove em in a good bong... 99.9999% of people dont know SHIT about the way the world works so stfu so us smart people can take advantage of your ignorant ass ;) its the truth deal with it. there is nothing i hate more than people who disscuss polotics becaus NOONE knows shit!

...Two percent of the richest people on the planet divided by more than half the wealth of the world, while 50 percent of world population divides little more than one percent...... According to studies 11 thousand children die in africa p / day due to hunger and diseases like malaria and AIDS and the owners of the world continue to spend millions and millions in arms and in their own destruction.
Feeding them everyday is not a solution. There needs to be structure. There is no government there to take ahold of the task. And if someone comes in to do so, then people will criticize forcing a control.
Sure it would be humane, but what about tomorrow. What about the supplying country. If you are so ready to spend someone else's $, go and feed them and make the difference. But it would be nice in a perfect world.
So true. I say the same thing all the time. Feed the children is a scam. If they really wanted to help they would use their money to build schools and teach trades and other skills so that the adults would be able to provide for their own children. I cant believe so many people buy into that guilt tripping nonsense.
i find it funny how a country(africa) destroys itself and no one is to blame but the successful. many help the unfortunate in this world. when you start listening to statistics, you are bull shitting yourself my friend
a parent can only raise a child so long.. till it must succeed on it's own. you can't baby feed a country when there fighting themselves. proven in the battle of mogadishu (1993)
@raindropgirl05 I never intended to do so. Though I don't actually agree with him, besides the country-continent part, his comment was well formalized and written.

@magalhaeshelder its sad what happens in africa but having rich people in the world doesnt prevent them from creating their own wealth..governments sure do though..
@magalhaeshelder Malaria was nearly wiped out until the Anti-DDT crusaders came in and decided they would serve as executioners to dozens of thousands of people because they had flimsy evidence one bird's egg shells were thinning because of the use.
The number one cause of death in the world is actually lack of access to clean water, 2nd is starvation. I wish all of us would focus our collective minds on working out the logistics to provide clean water to more of the world, instead of guns

They are for DC, and besides general topic such as love, anger,...they also try to implement most of the government fallacies that influence the nation and the world in general. You can find a lot about it on their website.
Babylon = USA! and most of Earth's population is BRAINWASHED by stupid television and commercials given by American government, and it is poisoning the Earth!! Peace mah friend
Youtubers if you want to listen to what I think are some of the best Thievery Corporation songs, please click on my channel and look in my videos. I also have a selection of House and Lounge music in my favorites. If you have any personal favorite songs that match my taste of music please let me know. Thank you for helping me build a larger music library.
Yes, I agree with you bbobby0. I saw them a few months ago in Berkeley, CA. It was awesome! In fact, I'd see them again in New Year's Eve in San Francisco. Can't wait!
this evening they were in Bucharest... Impressing... i dont listen to funk or raggae too much .. just trance and chillout, but these rythms are astonishing. Their sound is one of the best i've heard. So If they will come to your country/city.. don't hesitate.. just go and see them... you will not regret.

The first time I heard Richest Man In Babylon, I was struck by the deep fat bass lines, wicked horns, and sweet vocals. Then I was drawn into the poignant, social lyrics. This song illuminates the turmoil and despair throughout the world. Corruption and greed can only lead to a global revolution. Only a few control the wealth and natural resources. Too many live day to day, with little, or no hope. Babylon is a world without law and order. It is the survival of the fittest. Humanity has no soul.
Babylon is an important Rastafarian term, referring to human government and institutions that are seen as in rebellion against the rule of JAH (Zion), beginning with the Tower of Babel. It is further used by some to mean specifically the 'polytricksters' who have been oppressing the black race for centuries through economic and physical slavery. Rastafari is defiance of Babylon, sometimes also called Rome
bmac103 Brethren 2 get 2 the roots the Most High(YAHWEH speaks of Babylon and its not just a rasta man term its reality in Spiritual things. Babylon is the ways of the world deriving from the original Babylonian Kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar & his ways & false religions and worshiping of many false gods made by man golden images & such Babylon is a kingdom in which the people do not fear & much less know YAHWEH the Father & CREATOR or YESHUA & sin freely as did sodom and gomorrah
I've dedicate "my profile" to exposing Babylon and who she is...If you know about illuminati symbolism and listen to the words in songs, you'll notice they have many things in common.The clues as to who she is are everywhere_we are being entertained by the illuminati people...:((the video with the elephant doesn't count)
hey, can u be more precise, i have found the lyrics of the song, and it kinda bitching common people like me and probably most of people reading and listening her, as we would be all exploited by who has build for us this sick consumerism.
Don't like to dance a song which talk about me in these terms, don't want to be fool twice.
I for a certain extent u were refering to this as well.
no, Babylon is Federal Reserve, Central Bank of Europe, Clearstream, Euroeclear, the zionists, illuminati, jesuits, Mr Soros, Mr Rothschild, the Vaticain Bank. USA is just another nation slave of these realities.
All these losers want to destroy our tradition and to make us fall into caos.
Specially what concerning the non-jewsih tradition.

The number one cause of death in the world is actually lack of access to clean water, 2nd is starvation. I wish all of us would focus our collective minds on working out the logistics to provide clean water to more of the world, instead of guns

They are for DC, and besides general topic such as love, anger,...they also try to implement most of the government fallacies that influence the nation and the world in general. You can find a lot about it on their website.

this evening they were in Bucharest... Impressing... i dont listen to funk or raggae too much .. just trance and chillout, but these rythms are astonishing. Their sound is one of the best i've heard. So If they will come to your country/city.. don't hesitate.. just go and see them... you will not regret.

The first time I heard Richest Man In Babylon, I was struck by the deep fat bass lines, wicked horns, and sweet vocals. Then I was drawn into the poignant, social lyrics. This song illuminates the turmoil and despair throughout the world. Corruption and greed can only lead to a global revolution. Only a few control the wealth and natural resources. Too many live day to day, with little, or no hope. Babylon is a world without law and order. It is the survival of the fittest. Humanity has no soul.

Babylon is an important Rastafarian term, referring to human government and institutions that are seen as in rebellion against the rule of JAH (Zion), beginning with the Tower of Babel. It is further used by some to mean specifically the 'polytricksters' who have been oppressing the black race for centuries through economic and physical slavery. Rastafari is defiance of Babylon, sometimes also called Rome
bmac103 3 years ago
bmac103 Brethren 2 get 2 the roots the Most High(YAHWEH speaks of Babylon and its not just a rasta man term its reality in Spiritual things. Babylon is the ways of the world deriving from the original Babylonian Kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar & his ways & false religions and worshiping of many false gods made by man golden images & such Babylon is a kingdom in which the people do not fear & much less know YAHWEH the Father & CREATOR or YESHUA & sin freely as did sodom and gomorrah

I've dedicate "my profile" to exposing Babylon and who she is...If you know about illuminati symbolism and listen to the words in songs, you'll notice they have many things in common.The clues as to who she is are everywhere_we are being entertained by the illuminati people...:((the video with the elephant doesn't count)

hey, can u be more precise, i have found the lyrics of the song, and it kinda bitching common people like me and probably most of people reading and listening her, as we would be all exploited by who has build for us this sick consumerism.
Don't like to dance a song which talk about me in these terms, don't want to be fool twice.
I for a certain extent u were refering to this as well.
onthecorner1978 3 years ago
Babylon=USA
I can't be more precise
and it's not so much about consumerism
luksor13 3 years ago 3
no, Babylon is Federal Reserve, Central Bank of Europe, Clearstream, Euroeclear, the zionists, illuminati, jesuits, Mr Soros, Mr Rothschild, the Vaticain Bank. USA is just another nation slave of these realities.
All these losers want to destroy our tradition and to make us fall into caos.
Specially what concerning the non-jewsih tradition.
