[Verse 1]
EmMr Kokoschka, it just happened again (sDad, so sAmad)
EmThey struck the museum like a hurricane (sDad, so sAmad)
EmAll of our culture, it's dead and it's gone (sDad, so Amsad)
EmFrom Babylon, baby, back to Babylon (sDad, so sAmad)
[Chorus]
EmThere's stuff you find along the way
Dand stuff you leave behind
EmAnd it all ends up as stuff that you can Dbuy
GOn eBaDy, from AmBabylon back to BaCbylon
GOn eBaDy, from AmBabylon back to BaCbylon
[Verse 2]
EmIn old Baghdad, they're dusting off the antiques (sDad, so sAmad)
EmIt's the fourteenth Guernica we've had this week (sDad, so sAmad)
EmI got twenty-five dollars for a Persian vase (sDad, so sAmad)
EmHold the critique, I think I'll go large (sDad, so sAmad)
[Chorus]
EmThat stuff inside your houses and that stDuff behind your eyes
EmWell, it all ends up as stuff that you can bDuy
GOn eBaDy, from BAmabylon back to BCabylon
GOn eBaDy, from BAmabylon back to BCabylon
[Verse 3]
EmThey're building a tower out of wrappers and cans (sDad, so sAmad)
EmNow we speak in a language that we all understand (sDad, so sAmad)
EmT-t-t-t-toungue-tied and starry-eyed (sDad, so sAmad)
EmIt's the ancient history of old school ties (sDad, so sAmad)
[Chorus]
EmThere's stuff dressed up as truth and then there's stDuff dressed up as lies
EmAnd it all ends up as stuff that you can bDuy
GOn eBaDy, from AmBabylon back to BCabylon
GOn eBaDy, from AmBabylon back to BCabylon
GOn eBaDy, from AmBabylon back to BCabylon
