Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man In Babylon (HQ) (Lyrics)

Lyrics:

There is no quidance in your kingdom
Your wicked walk in Babylon
There is no wisdom to your freedom
The richest man in babylon

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

Si la lou babylon go 'dain
Babylon gon' be rich again
But to we don' sick again
But no we no weak again
Babyloooon on on on on
(Rasta scat)
Sal la lou ca uba whoa
Si la douba douba do wa bay
??
Si la loo babylon come 'round
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...

Whoooooa oh oh oh oh whoa oh who oh oh
Whooooooa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh o oh

Beautiful this is just great I love the lyrics ppl pls understand your freedom in this kingdom for the freedom in God's kingdom is oh so different.

cont'd: .... and neither can it be taken away 

[skaha65]

Read Proverbs ch 3, middle verses. Psalm 34 and 37. Then John 3:16.. and smile. This world cannot give you what God gives you, and what he gives you cannot be earned.

[skaha65]

@edg3025 Good question, because the lyrics don't give us a blunt or direct message. What I get is the message that if you live for the pleasures of this world, and all it's empty promises; you come up empty . You will never be satisfied. One reason is because the world system is a hoax and a for of dictatorship. In contrast, be thankful for what you have. Trust in the Lord, and live for him. HE will give you your heart's desires. Ironic that this world does not know him, yet he made it
