Go on, Babylon

Go on, Babylon
I don’t need you
To tell me I’m not worthy
of your heart
Go on, telethon
callin for my dollar
On these empty streets i walk alone
the pictures of your daughters
all skin and bones on every lamppost
Billboards to the Holy Ghost
tell me how I can be the most
beautiful one with a beautiful pose
Tell me, how many girls did you kill today?
Starvin themselves to look that way
We could’ve used what their hearts had to say
But their minds kept deep inside

So go on, Babylon
I don’t need you
To tell me that my words
are no good
Go on, Page One
There’s no time to court you
My heroes, what is left of them
didn’t heed your disapproving lens

To change the wind and change your plans
To sing what their souls spoke to hem
To insist that they breathe real air again
Cause all of it is an illusion
The company car, the Mercedes Benz
the COINTELPRO false flag events
The cross, the priests, the Vatican
only have the power you give to them

So go on, Babylon
I don’t need you
I’ve found the love I needed to
Break down all your walls
Go on, Zion
You are not my Promised Land
I know Eden and she’s running fast
To get away from your bombs
Oh this is not the end, this is not the end,
As long as I live I will not repent
What my heart says we gotta bring
back to this planet
Give Love, Please give Love, Please give Love,
Give Love

I see you dying, Babylon,
Going underwater
With your son of Sam
Sirhan Sirhan, pullin the trigger
Back on you, Babylon
But you cannot hypnotize the ones
who refuse to bow
Who learned how
to stay closer to their center

To change the wind and change your plans
To sing what their souls spoke to hem
To insist that they breathe real air again
Cause all of it is an illusion
The company car, the Mercedes Benz
the COINTELPRO false flag events
The cross, the priests, the Vatica
only have the power you give to them

Performance of “Go on, Babylon” from Art Love Magic’s GirlShow 2009

Note: I was wearing the abaya to show everyone what traditional women’s dress looks like in Saudi Arabia on the first night of GirlShow 2009, held in Dallas by Art Love Magic. It was meant to both honor and inform women of all faiths and to be a metaphor for perception; we so often judge everything by what we see, and unless we look beyond initial impression, our reality will be imprisoned by that impression. All things must be studied deeply to further our understanding of them.
