SomeFone called us BCabylon
Those hungry Fhunters 
Tracking down the Ghours 
But where Ebwere all your shoulders when Bbwe cried 
Were the darlings on the Fmsideline
Dreaming up sCmuch cherished lies 
To whiAbsper in your ear  
before you Fdie F  
CHORUS
It's Ebparty time for the guys 
in tAbhe tower of BbBabel
SoCmdom meet GomoAbrrah, 
CaEbin meet ABbbel
Have a Fmball y'all 
SFmee the letches crawl 
With the call girls under tCmhe table 
Watch them dig Abtheir graves 
`Cause JesuEbs don't save tBbhe guys 
In the toFmwer of Babel Ab  
Watch them dig their gravAbes 
`Cause Jesus Ebdon't save the gBbuys 
In the tower of BabFmel, no no nEbo

The Fdealers in the baCsement 
Filling your Fprescription 
For a brand nGew heart attack 
But wherEbe were all your shoulders when Bbwe cried 
Were the doctorFms in attendance 
Saying how Cmthey felt so sick inside 
Or was it just the scalpel bladAbe that lied.
ENJOY THIS. DON'T MEAN THE NOTES, BUT PAUSES BETWEEN THEM.          RAY
