Lyrics

Read between the lines
Open up your third eye
Read between the lines
Open up your eyes
Mistress Babylon, yeah
Has got the people's eyes blindfolded
Lost in a nursery rhymes
Culture and fiction, aye
Still there's a real world, check it
And it's full of so many things that are not right
It's no fairy tale
It's a harsh reality
It looks like the three blind mice
Them are the big guys who put the price on the rice
When the dish ran away with the spoon
Many were left hungry, desperate for food
You've got to check those parables
You've got to suss it
'Cause Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parables
You've got to suss it
Read between the lines and wise
Now Jack and Jill went up the hill
Rob poor people against them will
Them think them wise and think them skill
No get no heart, nah
Humpty Dumpty had to fall
Him scorn the ground and climb the wall
And highly name him had to call
To get a plaster, yo
The parables, you've got to suss it
'Cause Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parables
You've got to suss it
Read between the lines and wise
Now Little Bo Peep must asleep
How you fi lose sheep in times like these
When basic necessities are headache and stress to we
Massive buildings burning down
September 11, 9-1-1
Check the clothes, everyone
And then you'll see by who it was done
Those parables, you've got to suss it
'Cause Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parables
You've got to suss it
Read between the lines and wise
Mistress Babylon, yeah
Now they're the master of brain manipulation
And they'll distract your head, oh
To change your meditation, aye, aye
Still there's a real world
And it's full of many, many things that are not right
It's no fairy tale
It's a harsh reality
It looks like the three blind mice
Them are the big guys who put the price on the rice
When the dish ran away with the spoon
Many were left hungry, desperate for food
You've got to check those parables
You've got to suss it
'Cause Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parables
You've got to suss it
Read between the lines and wise
Now the itsy bitsy spider
Washed away with water
Natural disasters, America and Jamaica
Ivan and Katrina
Tsunami can't recover
Help us, most high Jah
You've got the power
Check those parables
You've got to suss it
'Cause Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parables
You've got to suss it
Read between the lines and wise
Mistress Babylon, yeah
Has got the people's eyes blindfolded
Lost in a nursery rhymes
Culture and fiction, oh
So check your parables
You better suss it
'Cause Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
Check those parables
You've got to suss it
Read between the lines and wise
You better check those parables
You've got to suss it
Babylon too tricky and them moving well slippery
