Well I came to see,
And what I found was not alright with me,
Desperation, suffocation,
And it'd been the same thing all along.
Goodbye, Babylon!
Goodbye, Babylon!
Goodbye, Babylon!
Now I know times are changing,
And the people need rearranging,
So now it's written here in song.
Goodbye, Babylon!
Goodbye, Babylon!
Goodbye, Babylon!
Goodbye.
Now our boys, they're falling,
Our leaders are all appalling,
And you can bet by God,
Good will is gone.
Goodbye, Babylon!
Goodbye, Babylon!
Oh, goodbye, Babylon!
Goodbye, Babylon, hey!
