[Verse]
We got Arizona, we got the Rose Bowl
Fair Trade chocolate bars, we got our mothers
We study Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé
The Geico Gecko, we hoard them all away

[Chorus]
Here in the Tower of Babel, our calendars are all full
So many people to meet, but nobody ever says "hi" to me
Here in the Tower of Babel, there is a beautiful girl
Singing the words to this song, as the band keeps on playing along

[Verse]
We bought insurance for our home loans
So wе can clean up when we go bankrupt
Wе'll ride our bicycles to catch the EcoBus
Get on the walking path, hope you can come with us

[Chorus]
Here in the Tower of Babel, our calendars are all full
So many people to meet, but nobody ever says "hi" to me
Here in the Tower of Babel, there is a beautiful girl
Singing the words to this song, as the band keeps on playing along

[Bridge]
We were building up the tower, making it go ever higher
Almost getting up as tall as St. Paul in his shawl
But when Jehovah saw us rise, he shot out lightning from His eyes
His righteousness then knocked us down where we belong
[Chorus]
Here in the Tower of Babel, our calendars are all full
So many people to meet, but nobody ever says "hi" to me
Here in the Tower of Babel, there is a beautiful girl
Singing the words to this song, as the band keeps on playing along
Playing and playing along, Playing and playing along
