Down inna Babylon
One step forward, two steps backward
Down inna BabylonOne day you are dreadlocks (well dread)
Next day you are baldhead (clean shave)
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of BabylonAre you a commercialized
Grabbing at the cash-backs?
This is a time of decision
Tell me, what is your plan? yeahOnward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of Babylon
Onward, forward, don't step backward
Step out of BabylonStraight is the road that leads to destruction

The truth is a fact, tell me
