Stranded in Babylon - branded a fool

You're wrapped up in troubles
And you're laced with confusion too
They take the chains from your hands
Put them in your pockets to hold you down
They take the chains from your feet
Put them in your pockets to crump your style
Working yourselves to death for the things
You really don't need
You're bawling for mercy ans you crucify the dread

You're running away to hell
But you can't run away from yourself [repeat]

[Chorus:]
Stranded, stranded ina babylon, yeah
Stranded, stranded in babylon

Stranded, stranded ina babylon, yeah
Stranded, stranded in babylon

Living this life of illusion I can't take it no more
Economical slavery I can't take it no more
I've got to light up my chalice
To drive the devil away
Yes I've got to light up my chalice to keep on high
[Chorus]
Opressa man without oppology
Jah is gonna get you now
Back off for begging no equality
Jah is gonna get you now
Back off for begging no equality
Jah is gonna get you now

[Chorus]
