Oh, great mammon of form and function Careless consumerist consumption Dangerous dysfunction Disguised as expensive taste I’m a people disgraced By what I claim I need And what I want to waste I take no account for nothing If it’s not mine
It’s a misappropriation of funds Protect my ninety percent with my guns Whose side am I on? Well, who’s winning? My kingdom’s built with the blood of slaves Orphans, widows, and homeless graves I sold their souls just to build my private mansion Some people say that my time is coming Kingdom come is the justice running Down, down, down on me
I’m a poor child, I’m a lost son I refuse to give my love to anyone Fight for the truth Or help the weaker ones Because I love my Babylon I am a slave, I was never free I betrayed You for blood money Oh, I bought the world, all is vanity Oh, my Lord I’m Your enemy
Come to me and find your life Children sing, Zion’s in sight
I said: don’t trade your name for a serial number Priceless lives were born from under graves Where I found you Say, my name ain’t yours and yours is not mine Mine is the Lord, and yours is my child That’s how it’s always been Time to make a change Leave your home Give to the poor all that you own Lose your life so that you could find it First will be last when the true world comes Livin’ like a humble fool to overcome The upside-down wisdom Of a dying world
Zion’s not built with hands And in this place God will dwell with man Sick be healed and cripples stand Sing Allelu My kingdom’s built with the blood of my son Selfless sacrifice for everyone Faith, hope, love, and harmony I said let this world know me by your love By your love
Oh my child, daughters and sons I made you in love to overcome Free as a bird, my flowers in the sun On your way to Mount Zion All you slaves, be set free Come on out, child, and come on home to me We will dance, we will rejoice If you can hear me then follow my voiceTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
