Fire on Babylon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She took my father from my life, oh
Took my sister and brothers, oh
I watched her torturing my child
Feeble I was then but now I'm grown
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes, a change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire
Fire
Fire
[Verse 2]
She's taken everything I liked
She's taken every lover, oh
And all along she gave me lies
Just to make me think I loved her
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes, a change has come
Look what she did to her son
Fire
Fire
Fire on
She took my father from my life, oh
Took my sister and brothers, oh
I watched her torturing my child
Feeble I was then but now I'm grown
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes, a change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire
Fire
Fire
[Verse 2]
She's taken everything I liked
She's taken every lover, oh
And all along she gave me lies
Just to make me think I loved her
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes, a change has come
Look what she did to her son
Fire
Fire
Fire on
[Bridge]
Life's backwards
Life's backwards
People turn around
The house is burnt
The house is burnt
The children are gone
Fire
Fire
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes, a change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire
Fire, oh
Fire, oh
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes a change has come
Look what she did to her son
Look what she did to her son
Fire, ha-ha
Fire, ha-ha
Life's backwards
Life's backwards
People turn around
The house is burnt
The house is burnt
The children are gone
Fire
Fire
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes, a change has come
Fire on Babylon
Fire
Fire, oh
Fire, oh
[Chorus]
Fire on Babylon
Oh yes a change has come
Look what she did to her son
Look what she did to her son
Fire, ha-ha
Fire, ha-ha
[Outro]
Fire

Fire, a-ha
Fire on Babylon
Fire on Babylon
