[Chorus] Rebel against the kings of Babylon Rebel against the kings of Babylon Yeah They got their swords and their spears And their bows and their knives We're fighting with our brothers and our sisters for our lives Rebel against the kings of Babylon [Verse 1] God made man and man made kings And the kings rule men and they bring the suffering When the people rise up, they see it as defiant They wanna have control, so you can't be self-reliant If you play your role and don't get out of line If you sell your soul, they will buy it for a dime And sell it for a dollar so they can turn a profit It's a vicious cycle and the only way to stop it [Chorus] Rebel against the kings of Babylon Rebel against the kings of Babylon Yeah They got their swords and their spears And their bows and their knives But we'll fight it with our brothers and our sisters for our lives Rebel against the kings of Babylon [Verse 2] They run the drugs so they make all the money That they're busy printin' up like a bee makin' honey They hide in the shadows, call themselves enlightened While all the people's shackles are slowly getting tightened If we're not locked up, we're starving in the streets Full bellies getting fat while the weak are getting weaker Politicians out to line their pockets It's a vicious cycle and the only way to stop it [Chorus] Rebel against the kings of Babylon Rebel against the kings of Babylon Yeah They got their swords and their spears And their bows and their knives But we'll fight it with our brothers and our sisters for our lives Rebel against the kings of Babylon [Organ Solo] [Bridge] Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Songs of the system of control Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Violent and tyrannical Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah It's a radical overthrow Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah It'll happen again like it's happened before [Chorus] Rebel against the kings of Babylon Rebel against the kings of Babylon Yeah They got their swords and their spears And their bows and their knives But we'll fight it with our brothers and our sisters for our lives Rebel against the kings of Babylon [Ending] They got their swords and their spears And their bows and their knives But we'll fight it with our brothers and our sisters for our lives Rebel against the kings of Babylon
