Time In Babylon Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

Five-lane highway danger zone 

SUV and a speaker phone 

You need that chrome to get you home 

Doin' time in Babylon. 

Cluster mansion on the hill 

Another day in Pleasantville 

You don't like it take a pill 

Doin' time in Babylon. 

In the land of the proud and free 

You can sell your soul and your dignity 

For fifteen minutes on TV 

Doin' time in Babylon. 

So suck the fat, cut the bone 

Fill it up with silicone 

Everybody must get cloned 

Doin' time in Babylon.

Little boy blue come blow your horn 

The crows are in the corn 

The morning sky is red and falling down 

The piper's at the till 

He's coming for the kill 

Luring all our children 

Under-ground in Babylon. 

We can from apple pie and mom 

Through Civil Rights and Ban the Bomb 

To Watergate and Vietnam 

Hard times in Babylon. 

Rallied round the megaphone 

Gave it up, just got stoned 

Now it's Prada, Gucci and Ferron 

Doin' time in Babylon.

Get results, get'em fast 

We're ready if you got the cash 

Someone else will be laughin' last 

Doin' time in Babylon. 

So put that conscience on the shelf 

Keep the best stuff for yourself 

Let the rest fight over what is left 

Doin' time in Babylon. 

Little boy blue come blow your horn 

The cows are in the corn 

The morning sky is red and falling down 

Let your song of healing spark 

A way out of this dark 

Lead us to a higher and a holy ground...
