Lost in Babylon

This is the story of a young boy
 Who wants to leave home and grow and rise abroad
 He wants to know what's beyond the sea
 And come back one day as a man.
 He said Mama, don't you ever cry
 I'll come back to you, just pray for your son
 And he hits the road alone
 Going straight to Babylon.
 Yes he's gone on his road to Babylon
 Yes he's gone, alone
 Straight to Babylon.
 After walking days and nights across the desert
 Passing other countries and other borders
 He couldn't wait no he couldn't stand
 Fleeing his miserable dirty poor land.
 One day he'll be back
 But today he wants to get away.
 And if money runs the world
 He'll go follow where it comes from
 To feed his family
 He's ready to sacrifice.
 And one day he'll be back
 But now its time to break away
 Yes he's gone on his road to Babylon
 Yes he's gone on his road to Babylon
 Yes he's gone, alone, alone, alone
 Straight to Babylon.
 And then got to Babylon
 Attracted by the lights
 He got lost
 Forgetting why he came
 Forgetting where he came from
 He got lost in Babylon
 Lost in Babylon
 Lost in Babylon
 Lost in Babylon.
 He got lost,
 He got lost,
 Lost in Babylon.
 He got lost,
 Alone, alone in Babylon.
 He got lost,
 He got lost,
 He got lost,
 Alone in Babylon.
 Alone in Babylon,
 Alone in Babylon,
 Alone in Babylon,
 Alone in Babylon.
 He got lost,
 Lost in Babylon,
 Alone in Babylon,
 He got lost.
