BABYLON

Verse 1:
what are we doing to the world today?
what can I do to make it better?
do you really know the role you play to make a change

I can hear so many people say
it's too late now anyway so why
should I be the one to change this place, my friend

Chorus:
Babylon -
the place that I live and call my home
I was born here and now that I have grown
time to stand up and throw the first stone
here in the land of Babylon

Verse 2:
if we all could only think the same
there's a chance to make it better
time to act now and quit the game, my friend

it's a crying sin and shame
we can't realize the mess we're in
and we got ourselves to blame
if don't say a thing

Chorus:
Babylon -
the place that I live and call my home
I was born here and now that I have grown
time to stand up and throw the first stone
here in the land of Babylon

C-Teil:
dem try to fool us again and again try to fool us again
dem wanna rule us again and again try to rule us again
dem try to school us again and again try to school us again
dem wanna control us again and again wanna control us again
so do what you teach, practice what you preach – I see under my feet a world on fire
bloodsucking leech with vampire-teeth free in the streets - liar! liar!

Jamaram Munich, Germany

It is hard to say for how many bright faces JAMARAM can be accredited for within the previous 20 years of performing live on stage. With approx. 100 shows a year, the number of singing mouths and dancing legs in the audience probably ranges into the hundreds of thousands. Having toured halfway around the world and despite, or maybe because of their longevity, the band is far from retiring! ... more
