American Babylon (Live Version)October 20, 1995 |
Whoa-ooh
A kid stole my car the other day
Broke in and drove away
He took it for a joy ride and when he was done
Held up a liquor store with a great big gun
Said, "I didn't do nothing wrong
It's just the way we live around here"
In American Babylon putting my protection on
Got everything I need, drugs, money, sex and greed
In American Babylon putting my blindfold on
Can't tell right from wrong in American Babylon
Whoa-ooh
Whoa-ooh
Well she ran out of money, ran out of hope
Left the kids at home, went out to score some dope
The cops caught her selling down on Broadway
The county came in, took the kids away
She said, "better off without me"
In American Babylon putting my protection on
Got everything I need, drugs, money, sex and greed
In American Babylon putting my blindfold on
Can't tell right from wrong in American Babylon
Who cares about the kids? (I don't)
Or what goes in their heads? (I don't)
If the poor are fed? (I don't)
If your neighbor's dead? (I don't)
I said do you really care? (I don't)
I said do you really care? (I don't)
I said do you really care? (I don't)
I said aw! Aw! Aw! Aw!
American Babylon (American Babylon) putting my protection on (American Babylon)
Got everything I need (American Babylon), drugs, money, sex and greed (American Babylon)
Americans Babylon (American Babylon) put my blindfold on (American Babylon)
Can't tell right from wrong (American Babylon) in American Babylon (American Babylon)
In American (Babylon)
In American (Babylon)
In American (Babylon)
In American Babylon (American Babylon)
American Babylon (American Babylon)
American Babylon (American Babylon)
American Babylon (American Babylon)
