Say I'm leaving this babylon
I'm leaving this babylon
It will not be too long now
It will not be too long
I said my people are starvin'
But your money's runnin'
I said my people are starvin'
But your money's runnin'

I say your dollar, dollar drop down real low
And you ain't got no gold to show
We gonna step right through that door
We not gonna come back no more
I said the politician lyin'
My momma just a-cryin'
And nothing ever gonna change
My poppa just a-sighin'
My sister just a-lyin'
And I ain’t nothing to say

Well, I say
Well, I say
