Sing a song of Babylon
Of days gone by and days to come
Sing a song and I'll sing along with you
Sing a song of Babylon
Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong
Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do

For Sacco and Vanzetti and those who fell along the way
For matriarchs and patriarchs and those who were led astray
For those who lived and those who died
For those who fell and those who survived
We gotta keep on laughing and fighting for a better day and a better way

Sing a song of Babylon
Of days gone by and days to come
Sing a song and I'll sing along with you
Sing a song of Babylon
Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong
Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do

Sometimes it seems like there's nothing you can do
Sometimes it seems like nothing works
Sometimes it seems like things can't get worse
Sometimes it seems like there's nothing you can do

Dog please help this garden grow
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please grant me fertile ground
And help me tear these motherfuckers down
Please guide me wrong from right
Please guide me dark from light
Please give me strength to live
Strength to laugh and strength to fight

Sing a song of Babylon
Of days gone by and days to come
Sing a song and I'll sing along with you
Sing a song of Babylon
Of what's gone right and what's gone wrong
Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do

Sing a song 'cause there's nothing we can do
Sing a song 'cause there's something we can do
Let's sing a song about everything that we're gonna do
