Just an illusion,
They feed on confusion,
All mirrors and smoking guns,
Corrupt to the very bone,
Modern-day Babylon.
Chorus:
And he ran his hammer way back (no, no, no)
And he ran his hammer way back (no, no, no)
And the trigger went a-click-clack (no, no, no)
And the trigger went a-click-clack (no, no, no)
(x2)
Why are we governed by those
Who worship vanity and gold?
If you're not busy buying,
You're busy being sold.
(Modern-day Babylon.)
Chorus x2
Just an illusion,
They feed on confusion,
All mirrors and smoking guns,
Corrupt to the very bone,
Modern-day Babylon.
