Paroles
[Verse 1]
Snow, cement and ivory young towers
Someone called us Babylon
Those hungry hunters tracking down the hours
[Verse 2]
But where were all your shoulders when we cried
Were the darlings on the sideline dreaming up such cherished lies
To whisper in your ear before you die?
[Verse 3]
It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Able
Have a ball, y'all, see the letches crawl
With the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
[Verse 4]
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel
Watch them dig their graves
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel
No, no, no
[Verse 5]
Junk, angel, this closet's always stacked
The dealer's in the basement
Filling your prescription for a brand new heart attack
[Verse 6]
But where were all your shoulders when we cried
Were the doctors in attendance saying how they felt so sick inside
Or was it just the scalpel blade that lied
[Verse 7]
It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Able
Have a ball, y'all, see the letches crawl
With the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
[Verse 8]
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel
Watch them dig their graves
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel
No, no, no
[Verse 9]
It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Able
Have a ball, y'all, see the letches crawl
With the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
[Verse 10]
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel
Watch them dig their graves
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel
No, no, no
