[Verse 1]
It's time to listen up, all good people
And take a look around
I know that everything is looking normal
But something is unsound

It seems that we are constricted
By a force unfair
Can't do what we all want to
Or you'll wind up in jail

[Chorus]
Babylon don't make the rules
Babylon don't make our rules
They try to play us all for fools
Babylon don't make our rules

[Verse 2]
I'm feeling like our voices are unspoken
And our needs unmet
Freedom is what we all want
So freedom is what we will get

So put up all your hands together
And squeeze them real tight
Cause if you're paying income tax then you're helping to build bombs
What do you have to say about that?

[Chorus]
Babylon don't make the rules
Babylon don't make our rules
They try to play us all for fools
Babylon don't make our rules
