Sing a song of Babylon
Of days gone by and days to come
Sing a song and I'll sing along with you

Sing a song of Babylon
Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong
Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do


For Sacco and Vanzetti and those who fell along the way
For matriarchs and patriarchs and those who were led astray

For those who lived and those who died
For those who fell and those who survived
We gotta keep on laughing and fighting for a better day and a better way


Sing a song of Babylon
Of days gone by and days to come

Sing a song and I'll sing along with you
Sing a song of Babylon
Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong

Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do

Sometimes it seems like there's nothing you can do

Sometimes it seems like they're catching up with you
Sometimes it seems like nothing works
Sometimes it seems like things can't get worse

Sometimes it seems like there's nothing you can do

Dog please help this garden grow

Please bless these seeds I sow
Please grant me fertile ground
And help me tear these mother$#&@ers down

Please guide me wrong from right
Please guide me dark from light
Please give me strength to live

Strength to laugh and strength to fight

Sing a song of Babylon

Of days gone by and days to come
Sing a song and I'll sing along with you
Sing a song of Babylon

Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong
Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do


Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do
Sing a song 'cause there's something we can do
Let's sing a song about everything that we're gonna do
