Cinnamon Girl Lyrics - Musicology - Prince

As war drums beat in Babylon 

Cinnamon girl starts 2 pray 

Eye've never heard a prayer like this 1 

Never b4 that day 

Tearful words of love 4 people she had never met b4 

Asking God 2 grant them mercy in this face of a holy war 

Cinnamon Girl 

Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage 

Never knew the meaning of color lines 

911 turned that all around 

When she got accused of this crime

So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi 

What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie? 

Cinnamon Girl 

Don't cry, don't shed no tears 

1 night won't make us feel 

Cause we know how this movie's ending

As war drums beat in Babylon 

And scorch the blood red sky 

Militants bomb the foreign gun 

Both sides truly die 

Cinnamon girl opens the book she knows will settle all the scores 

Then she prays after the war that there will not b anymore
